Your DNA is the same in every cell in your body. For you to now change at that level these features would have had to have lain dormant in you.
Something would then have to trigger these dormant genes into affecting your body.
Unfortunately the most likely dormant genes are for nasty illnesses.
No gene is ever going to exist for abililies that are impossible - Nobody's ever going to evolve metal spike coming out of their hands or the ability to fly.
In theory I guess you could mutate better eyesight or even more unlikely gills to breathe underwater but really the odds are more likely that you'd win the lottery every week for a year!

I would have to disagree about telepathy. Peoples brains develop differently and the manner in which the concept of say "bread" is stored in you brain is likely to be totally different to the way it is stored in mine. Even if you could get over the problem of a mechanism for peoples thoughts to magically fly through the air you'd still have to learn the "language" of each individual brain.
However we do share a genes from way back in our evolutionary past so it would be more rational to expect to resurrect one of these "powers" such as photosynthesis or gills or a tail.
Not as exciting as invisibility or teleportation I'm afraid

Techniquely, we do only use a small percentage of our brain power. Although certain areas of the brain are associated with different operations (i.e. the right side of the brain tends to control the left side of the body and vice-versa) it is not generally thought that the parts of the brain that we don't use are in some way associated with special 'powers' that we have not discovered or could somehow switch on.
The human brain is becoming more and more adapted and developed and our ability to understand each other and our emotions appears to improve over time. It cannot be ruled out that, with time, we could be capable of performing tasks now deemed impossible.
