The cost for castrating a donkey will depend on the veterinarian and location. The cost could be anywhere from $100 to $500.
You don't have to castrate them because they are genetically infertile, or cannot produce offspring.
Yes, adult male donkeys (jacks) can be castrated, but extra care must be taken. In castrating (gelding) any male donkey, the blood vessels should be ligated (tied off) to prevent excessive bleeding.

The moral of "The Donkey and the Lapdog'" fable is that you should be happy with your skills and lot in life. In the fable, the donkey attempts to act like a lapdog because he is jealous of the lapdog's life, but it backfires because he is a donkey and not a dog. As a donkey, he learns he is best suited for field work and should stick to that.
