Answer 1

Define your DataTemplate within your UserControl resources, and name your ListBox:

<UserControl>
  <UserControl.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="myTemplate">
       <!-- new template goes here -->
    </DataTemplate>
  </UserControl.Resources>

  <ListBox x:Name="MyListBox"/>
<UserControl>

Now simply set your ItemTemplate in code-behind when you want to dynamically change it:

MyListBox.ItemTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.Resources["myTemplate"];
