The only way to officially allow Apple to install an SSD for you would be to have an iMac that came with SSD in the first place.

Upgrading the HDD to the SSD technically voids your warranty, but if you manage to swap the HDD for SSD without damaging anything, they have no ground in which to consider your warranty voided. You'd just have to replace SSD with original HDD if you ever had to take it in for something else.

Some authorized resellers can install the SSD (27" only) for you and the warranty should not be voided, at least the shop that did the installation will cover it.

Of course you can.

It's a NAS (Network Attached Storage). You hook it to your modem and it will work as a router (if you want to) and you can store data in it, for example Time Machine backups. They will all work wirelessly.

so it's better for me to install it few years later when the SSD get cheaper right ? ( assuming the SSD's price will drop..)

You're better off selling your iMac after few years and buy a new one. In 2013, SSDs may have replaced HDs totally, who knows. At least they will be cheaper.
