well, the first would be accomplished by "instancing" particles... this takes already made geometry, and creates new geoemtry for every particle, and like binds it to the particle.... something like that.

the second thing your looking for is sprites. a 2D image that is in place of the particle. I dont need to tell you how to do this stuff, now that you know the proper names, open up the help (F1) and search for "instancing particles" and "spirtes"

Cheers,
