I have an A2000 with a 2088 bridge board. With the bridge board there is a 5 1/4" disk drive connected to it.
Is there any way of getting it connected to the amiga itself (or for that matter any internal 5 1/4" diskdrives) og in some way getting it to read/write C64 disks?

There should be a way to use internal 5.25" drives directly with the Amiga, but I wouldn't know if that is possible with all drives (or if you need specific drives, just like 3.5" ones).

As for reading C64 disks (or ms-dos, atari, apple): yes it's possible, but you'll need a Catweasel controller:
Link 1
Link 2

The second one also comes with an IDE controller (and I have one of those for sale, so PM me if you're interested :-) )

Was it ever possible for Amiga's to read C64 cassette tapes?

No. At least not directly. You can however record the data from a C64 to PC by connecting a tapedrive to a soundcard. Then you convert the .voc or .wav files to suitable emulator files (.tap or, better, .t64).

Click link for more info.

Recording to Amiga should be possible as well, but any conversion programs to .tap or .t64 are not known to me.
