Could it be possible for a unit such as a marine to have upgrade options that are replicas off research buildings like the engineering bay? Does the upgrades have to be abilities ? so I can have 2 extra buttons when selecting a marine that will allow me to spend minerals to upgrade damage/armour/hp/speed? Any guides that will help me on this? Or could you guys give me a list of what I need to edit/add to the data?
There are abilities of type "research" that allow units of any kind to research upgrades.
If you want to reuse existing research abilities, just select the unit in the data editor and add the ability in the "Abilities" field.

Personally for a single unit I would use a "Specialize" ability rather than Research.
