Well, I'm no expert, but as far as I have realized, not everything is determined by DNA. Sure, DNA says that we are more likely to be talented at drawing, or that we have outstanding skills of solving certain kind of tasks. But it doesn't mean we are limited in making decisions. The way we end up doing things, think, act, is greatly influenced by what we have experienced throughout our life, not by DNA.
I think the two sides that you distinguish between, exist together, not either one or the other.

I don't believe it is possible to overcome these disabilities. For example, I am colourblind. This is caused by a hereditary disorder, i.e. a DNA issue. There is no way for me to have this 'fixed'. Perhaps some difficulties can be overcome (e.g. use coloured contact lenzes to change your eye colour or dye your hair to change your hair colour), but certainly not all of them.
I agree with you. When we talk about physical disabilities, I can't imagine how one could just "will it away".
