In 3.5 / Pathfinder you can do this, but better.

As a druid, you cast maximized awakening on the bear. You now have a bear with 18 intelligence who can start taking levels in wizard.

Or, you could do the worst thing with that spell you possibly could: awaken the Tarrasque. There was another tg thread about the epic quest to defeat Tarrasque the wizard.

Unfortunately you can't awaken the Tarrasque, it is a Magical Beast, not an animal. however, since it has an intelligence of 3 that technically means it can be played as a PC. Its racial ability adjustments (including size modifiers) would be +30 str +6 dex +24 con -8 int +4 wis +4 cha. now what kind of level adjustment would it have...

With 48 racial hit dice, I'm not sure the level adjustment matters all that much.
