are you able to invert the x and y axis's?

i have a black macbook.
im wondering if it would be possible to change the settings so that i can use the pad in a different way..

i would like to be able to use it but placing it over the top of my current track pad. i see this being easiest by turning the pad around so the battery rail is closest to the user and the (bottom) of the pad is almost touching the spacebar..
i also believe this would keep the track pad more level.

can track pad be configured to act like a number pad?

i'm a finance guy and really, really appreciate having a number pad on my keyboard. apple has been moving away from number pads and there are no 3rd party ones available (at least none up to apple standards). plus i'd find it very useful to have a trackpad / number pad to use with my macbook when i'm on the road. it must be possible to programme something like this and then supply a simple foil with the relevant keys marked on it?

How does the battery life compare to that of the wireless keyboard? Does it have the same "sleep" function as the keyboard to preserve battery life?
