Answer 1

You can't. Prior to Java 7, Apple managed the Java JRE/JDK. It came pre-installed (or auto-installed on first time use). With Apple's Java implementation, you have no choice over which version to install -- a version of OS X will be able to install a certain version of Java and no other. I'm not sure what the last version of OS X to run Java 5 was, but certainly 10.9 Mavericks uses Java 6.

In OS X 10.9, your only choices are Apple's Java 6 (auto-installed on first time use) or Oracle's Java 7 (downloaded form Oracle's website). This applies to both the JRE and JDK.
