Is it possible to create a pygame app and run it on the web browser? I've heard of this common gateway interface (CGI), so would I be able to implement it around this? Also, what is the use of Django is CGI already allows the python program to run on a broswer? What does Django even do to begin with?

If you mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygame[^], http://www.pygame.org[^], I don't think it can target Web applications.

If your goal includes using Python on client side (this is how I could interpret your "run it on the Web browser"), look at pyjs instead, which targets both Web and desktop. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyjamas_%28software%29#Pyjs.org_Fork[^],
http://pyjs.org/[^].

The question about Diango hardly can be called correct. Why not just reading about it? Please see:
