WiFi Only models do not have any Cellular capabilities. It is not possible to change or modify the internal hardware components of an iPad. 


Whilst a WiFi Only iPad cannot be transformed into a WiFi+Cellular model, you can use the hotspot feature of a mobile phone - or a Cellular Broadband Router (often known as a MiFi Router) - to access Cellular networks. Broadband Routers are readily available from good computer retailers and Cellular operators.
