Could the same be done in air traffic control?

It's certainly possible with ACARS. What's about information from aircraft transmitted via ADS-B?

And could CPDLC data sent from air traffic control to aircraft be faked as well?

I would be very surprised if proper encryption and authentication were in place for ADS-B and CPDLC …

Some Wikipedia links if you don't know the abbreviations used above:
