Is it possible to put a 4-prong plug on a dryer that uses a 3-prong plug and how would you do this?
Yes, it is possible with an appropriate adapter or by rewiring the dryer. An adapter can be used to plug in the 4-prong plug into the existing 3-prong outlet. Alternatively, the electrical wiring in the dryer can be updated to accommodate the 4-prong plug by consulting a professional electrician.

You are trying to change a 3 prong cord to a 4 prong your new dryer has two green cables attached to the inside of the dryer?
The two green cables inside the dryer are the grounding wires. When changing from a 3-prong to a 4-prong cord, you'll need to connect the green ground wire on the new cord to the grounding screw on the dryer. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the proper installation and safety.
How do you wire a 4 wire dryer plug into a 3 wire?
To wire a 4-wire dryer plug into a 3-wire outlet, you should first disconnect the ground wire in the 4-wire cord and isolate it. Then, connect the red and black wires to the outer terminals and the white wire to the center terminal, if applicable. Finally, connect the green (ground) wire from the 4-wire cord to the neutral terminal on the dryer. Be sure to consult a professional or the dryer's manual if you are unsure.
What is the difference between a 4 prong dryer outlet and a 4 prong stove outlet?
The four blade dryer plug brings a separate ground wire from the machine to the electrical grounding system. The three blade dryer plug depended on the neutral wire of the plug to make this connection.
