New Guy Question!

Hey guys. First of all I have a 02 4Runner Sport Edition. I have a couple of questions for you all, any help would be much appreciated.
1. Is there a way to disable the DRL's (Day time running lights) and just just run with the fogs on?
2. I doubt this one, but its worth an ask...turned winter here and I like the trucks with 2 wheel drive so you can spin around, is there any way to disable the traction control so it doenst bog down the engine when the rear wheels start to spin? ( I know you can take it off in 4 wheel drive, but im talking about 2 wheel drive)
3. Going to do the brakes here soon, but the guy I bought the car from said not to do them yourself because of the "special" electronics linked to the brakes....I find this hard to believe that I cant do them myself, will I be ok? or is this true?
Thanks alot for the help guys! Time to go wash the baby!!!
-Marc
