I'm incorrigibly curious, and discovering the contents of the locked containers (of various types) in the Arcaneum in the College of Winterhold is something I've always wanted to do. I was wondering if Urag awards you with the key once you've completed his fetch quests, or if you have to pickpocket the key off him (I haven't been able to activate the "Pickpocket" prompt).
Is it possible to get access to the locked bookcases and display case in the Arcaneum

This is possible from the beginning, I'm running around electrocuting enemies with my right hand and blocking with a shield on my left hand pretty much since the beginning of the game.
Left clicking assigns the item or spell to your right hand and right clicking assigns it to your left hand. So you want to right click on a shield and left click on a spell.
To activate the spell or block with your shield the mouse buttons are reversed from assigning, you activate your right hand with a left lick and your left hand with a right click.
Favoriting just puts the item or spell into a list you can access via the Q key, you can equip from the inventory directly or from your favorites list.
It should look like this, where both the shield and the spell are marked in the inventory and favorite list:
With the 1.9 skyrim patch there is no limit to the levels you can achieve, so you could get all the perks in theory.
Alternatively, on pc, there are mods that can give you extra perk points. For example I use Spend Dragon Souls For Perks. Otherwise search the workshop for 'perk' and see what you find: e.g. Perk Potions

Urag gro-Shub has the key to the locked cases in the Arcaneum, but you can't pickpocket it off of him, apparently.
Further, none of the quests he gives you results in you getting the key from him. I don't believe it is possible to get it by killing him, since he's flagged as essential. I think you're just going to have to "look and not touch" in this case.
