So I played around with the layouts that I found on wikipedia and managed to make a keyboard layout from the ANSI that could be used by someone in Sweden/Finland or Scandinavia even with a few changes. Now the question is...since I'm new to keyboards be able to change how the key's are recognized by the computer with any ansi-keyboard or do I need a special keyboard to be able to change the layout to this.

Also, feel free to comment on this layout. I know it's nothing special and probably has been done before. I would still like to hear the benefits/drawbacks this layout has.

My layout:

The keymap is printed on the keys and your operating system's software -- not part of your keyboard's electronics.

If you set the keymap to Swedish or Finnish in the OS, then you will have most of this map. You could use a key remapping utility to get the two keys to the right of Å (A with a ring) and the additional ' (quote) character on the Ä (A with umlaut) key.
BTW, don't you need to type * (asterisk) ? That character is usually on the key above Enter.

The asterisk is situated on the Å key and accessed through Alt Gr/ctrl + alt

Nice idea, in fact I've done a similar one to you. However, it is based on ISO/UK Colemak to ANSI/UK Colemak!

I'm trying, or should I say 7bit is trying to get Unicomp to do this for me as part of the group buy!

This is my experiment:
