I have a WPA2 Internet connection is there any way I can share it over MAC OS X Airport?
My Mac connects to my WPA2 Talk-Talk wireless router via Airport is there anyway I can change the settings so My Nintendo DS Lite can use the same connection.

If the Nintendo had an ethernet cable connection to the Mac, it would be able to share the Mac's wifi connection. A single wireless adapter (=Airport card) can't be a wireless client to the router and at the same time serve as an access point for a computer-to-computer network (a.k.a. ad-hoc network).
What you could try is connect the Mac to the router via an ethernet cord, then enable and configure Internet sharing in System Preferences > Sharing, and finally create the wireless (ad hoc) network for the other device to connect to... Not sure though if it will work with the Nintendo. Also be aware that the Mac only supports the useless WEP security standard when in ad-hoc mode. You'll get detailed instructions on that via the Help menu, search for 'computer-to-computer network'.)
