Welcome. Splitting the neck PU can be done, but it would not get you really closer to a DGT. The DGT and CU22 look a lot alike, but are not really the same beasts. Pickups are only a part of that equation. The dgt has more wood in the body (thicker) and if your CU22 has a wide thin neck, also the neck has quite a lot less thicknes. Both affect the overall vibe of that guitar.
Changing PUs to more DGT style output and character would help though if you want a kore DGTish guitar. However I have no idea what makes a DGT pickup a DGT pickup.

@Gtrbldr makes a whole lot of sense
The DGT is very different
and one of those guitars that sets itself apart from the others
The SE DGT is also a very good guitar at a great price
in Fact I was just offered a brand new gold top SE on Reverb for $637 with free shipping
The custom 22 is also a very good guitar and already offers the neck pickup split
Position 2 splits the neck pickup with the bridge pickup
Position 4 splits the Bridge with the neck pickup
if not exactly how you want it,
it should be a simple wiring change to separate the pickups
they are both capable of being split

You can get a CU22 to sound remarkably close to a DGT , a set of McCarty pickups will do this , if anything it will be a taste brighter ( clearer ) which can make it easier to record and make the neck pickup even more useful . the second volume knob on the DGT makes it easier to set up 2 sounds only using a toggle flip. I have seen one or two folks delete the tone knob and go 2 volume on a CU. or use a stacked volume.
Depending on how your CU22 is set up ( Toggle or Blade ) you can wire it for your likes and needs there are also Freeways switches to give you even more options
