Mainly by sticking it under a better rider.
There are things you can do to the gearing, but it's impossible to say if they would help you or not over the 'net.
Usually not. It'll be fast at the start, but a small crank will limit top speed unless you can turn the pedals really fast.

BMX makes many performance bikes. They come in many styles and specs to fit any rider. Check out http://www.performancebike.com and search BMX, you will find what your looking for.
Buy a BMX frameset and put your own selection of components on it.Switch parts out for rarer, more expensive parts, have it repainted.
BMX isn't a manufacturer, it's type of bicycle - just like sneaker is a type of shoe. BMX doesn't make any bicycles. Bicycle manufacturers make BMX bikes. And pedal brakes aren't that good on a performance bike, as you have to wait until your pedals are in the right position before you can brake. But it's possible that you can find a BMX-looking kids/juvenile bike with a pedal brake. Don't expect it to do particularly well if it gets ridden hard though.
Apollo bmx bikes are not the best, but if you're just starting off they're ok. However, if you're at a decent level of bmx and you have the money, you might want to go for a wethepeople, hoffman, mongoose, archos, mafia, haro, or even make your own custom bmx
