They use special point shoes
dorsiflexion
Yes, the Pointe shoe is padded. With layers of cloth and glue, the toe is padded so the ballerina can stand on it like a platform.
When a ballerina points the toes, this is known as plantar flexion.

The way pointe shoes are constructed make it possible for a ballerina to stand directly on her toes. The place where your toes go in a pointe shoe is call a toe box. Through chemical processes the tip of the shoe (toe box) is made into a square like shape.
To find the weight of an object, use the formula F = M * AWhere F is the weight,M is the mass of the ballerina, andA is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 if the ballerina is on Earth).The weight won't change if the Ballerina is on his or her toes or not.

Yes he can easily dunk on his toes
Most people probably can't stand on there toes without something being there to support them(other than the floor). I do know some people that can stand on their toes but it takes lots of practice and if you don't do it correctly, it can result in injury.
stand on your toes
En pointe
Right under your toes there are a series of harder sections on your foot, the part you stand on when you stand to your "tippy-toes." The ball of the foot is where the toes join with the rest of the foot. It is muscular and easily blistered. (Sorce: Wikipedia.) It's the part of your foot right before your toes and after the arch.
