Actually they can't but what they do is buy their own air time, ads, mailers etc in support of or opposed to a cause or candidate. As long there is no active coordination. So candidates are limited and have more stringent reporting. PACs circumvent that, that is what Citizen's United was about.

The alteration to Picard's body was from his time as Locutus so around Wolf 359. But the alteration to the transporters to change Starfleet personnel was done after Picard's OG body was stolen from Section 31 along with the portal weapon a few weeks before the 3rd Season started. They needed his original body to copy the "receiver" from to slip that into the transporter code.
