TT_0,
I am not sure what you mean by unstable or stable when it comes to a singularity. I asked before if this was suppose to be a naked singularity or one which in fact has an event horizon? If it does have an event horizon, then Hawking radiation is a natural phenonmenon which you can not prevent, it is the result of virtual particle pairs form at the event horizon something which can not be prevented. Darby is correct to point out that the evaporation rate is inversely related to the surface area of the event horizon, so if you have such a small black hole it should not last long at all before it evaporates.
The mass an object has presumably comes from the coupling of its particles to the Higgs field. If you were some how able to increase the coupling of a particle then you in theory you could make it more massive. Or if you were able to decrease the coupling make it less massive. Although, currently there is no concrete i.e definitive evidence of the Higgs boson's existence. There is some indication at LEP at CERN but it is disputed. We should definitely know within our lifetimes though, since the LHC will come online in 2006 with more than enough energy to find the Higgs boson if it exists.
