Give more power to burghers and nobility
Built roads and harbours
And there are many other factors, but these are the easiest to do yourself.

These are the triggers for event 9007
Culture can spread from one province to another province
Here is a complete list of all the modifiers from the Cultural Conversion Event. Modifiers > 1 increase the MTTH (Mean Time To Happen), modifiers < 1 decrease the MTTH
And here a map with trade-routes, which is handy for seeing which provinces are connected with each other. So that culture can spread even though there is no common border.

No
But at least Norman culture can't spread since there is no province in the game with that culture. There are only, Norman characters

If I am correct you are using my mod ?
Which does have Norman culture in the provinces of Normandy

No, difference at all.
Varyar just thought that red would come out better on the map

You'd think that there'd be trade links along rivers other than the Danube and lower Dniepr. Welp.

Thight might be the case yes
And thanks for that, without it my de Hauteville rulers would still be ruling berber land 
Is it possible to transform a Muslim/Arab province in the Middle East(like Jerusalem, for example), into Catholic/French if I hold it long enough? Since it's landlocked, those trade routes from the map above don't work, I suppose.
It is my project at the moment to make the middle east greek orthodox. They're mostly orthodox but no greeks yet...

Making them catholic is possible, since there are province-based conversion events for religion.
Making them French is a bit harder, you will have to figure out a route of provinces from a Frankish/French province to Jerusalem. Which isn't impossible to do but very unrealistic to achiev.
The best way to achieve that is to go through Venice, so first make a patch from a Frankish province Venice and then have Venice convert to Frankish culture. Then from Venice it can spread through a trade route to the Middle East

Thanks!
So it's much easier to turn them Italian or Greek (since there are direct routes from Italy and Constantinople).
For Greek, Cyprus, Crete, Syracuse and Antioch also have that culture, and good connections. For spreading, good provinces to pick up include Tripoli and Damascus (and Sicily, so you can work on Tunisia as well.)
