Is this possible to do? I have 5GB a month of mobile hotspot data through T-Mobile and I used to be able to run it for the entire month watching Netflix, and now I get shut off after about 3 episodes of something because I hit my cap. I'm planning to get internet within the next week or two, but in the meantime if I'm able to bypass that cap, it'd be pretty awesome. So, is this possible?

Unless there is an exploit (highly doubt you'll find something like this for free) or you manage to hack your service provider then no, there isn't.

Damn, ok. I was thinking of having my phone rooted, would that make any difference?

Not at all. You're getting/sending data from/to their servers regardless.
