Microsoft Silverlight is a plugin that only works on some desktop browsers. It is never going to be supported in Safari, because it is rapidly becoming outdated - content providers should be using more modern, efficient and faster technologies. Depending on what you are trying to do, there may be a native way of doing it - search for it in the App Store.
You cannot download IE because Microsoft do not make IE for the iPad. You cannot run MS Windows programs (.exe files) on the iPad. If you don't want to use Safari to browse the web, just search 'browser' in the App Store, and you'll find soma alternatives.
Just remember: The App Store is the only place you can get apps for your iPad!
Hope that helped!

Safari will not allow download of apps on Ipad

The authorised way of downloading apps on the ipad is via the app store. Go to the app store and find the apps using the search facillity that you are trying to download via safari and they will instal properly. You must remember that safari is not really a fully functional browser as it would be on a desktop machine. You will not be able to download things like flash games or use flash enhanced websites. Hope this helps.

How do I download silverlight on ipad

You cannot download Microsoft Silverlight onto the iPad - is is a Microsoft technology that only works on some desktop browsers. It is, in general, a bit outdated, and very rarely used - What are you trying to do? There may well be a better way of doing it that the iPad supports.

How can I download .exe files onto my iPad Safari keeps saying it cannot download file

.exe files are Microsoft Windows Executable files, that can only run on Microsoft Windows. They cannot be run on the iPad, so Safari doesn't download them.
The place to get apps for the iPad is the App Store - have a search, there'll probably be something that can do what you need. Out of interest, what are you trying to do? I may be able to suggest an app.
Hope that helped!

I have an iPad. I like to download "silverlight".

Both silverlight and IE are for Windows based computers only. You will not be able to install either of them on an iPad.
