I have a form that has a DataGridView of customers. Now,

Answer 1

In order to show those rows, just do a UNION (-like) action before the databinding. Ie get your list of records, add the special ones and then databind.

Updating will require some special action(s) too. But with a total lack of details about your datastructures it's impossible to say what.

Answer 2

Bind your DGV to a BindingList<YourObject>, where YourObject can be a simple class with properties reflecting your database schema. Initially populate the BindingList from the database, and the DGV will automatically add YourObject instances to the list. When you're ready to commit the changes, do so manually from the BindingList.
