Is it possible to change the mental pathways that have been etched into your brain throughout your life? And what about genetics?

Well.. the longer you've let a habit get etched into your mind, the harder its going to be to break. I'm sure we have genetic propensities towards one personality type or another, or even one addiction or another, but not in a rigidly deterministic sense.
In identical twins where one twin is gay for example, there is a 50% chance the other will be gay. Its obvious there is a strong genetic predisposition, but also that its outcome can be effected by environmental factors.
