I have an older Nikon D70. Is there any way to make it record video, such as by installing new firmware or another upgrade? I know it can take photos, but I’m wondering whether video recording is possible at all on this camera.

Impossible, I'm afraid. Video is just so much of a fundamental change that there's no way a manufacturer, or anyone else, could add it to a camera by a firmware update or similar even if they wanted to.

No. The Nikon D70 cannot record video, and this is not something that can be added with firmware or a simple upgrade. Video recording requires camera hardware and processing features the D70 does not have.
The D70 does include a composite video-out connection, but that is for displaying playback on a TV. Since the camera also lacks Live View, it cannot output a live video feed for normal movie recording. At most, you can show already-taken photos on an external display in NTSC/PAL format.
If you need video capture, you’ll need a different camera model that was designed with movie recording support.
