Question: The first two answerers are correct.
There are some devices, tricks and workarounds which may increase your ability to differentiate colours, for instance to tell a red wire or push switch from a green one (x-chrom contact lens, *temporary* use of coloured filters...), but none of them deliver normal colour vision.
It's not that rare: about one man in fifty is judging traffic lights by their position on the pole, not by their colour.
(an example of double-coding.)

No. You are missing a pigment in the cones of your eyes and there is no way to replace it.
No. It is a genetically inherited disorder that we currently have no treatment for. The goal of science today is to be able to identify genetic disorders while a child is in the womb and treat the diseases or disorders even before birth so that many will not have to suffer diseases and disorders unnecessarily. BUT, that's quite a bit down the road unfortunately.
