Will I 2000 626 2.2 motor work/fit easily in a 03 Protege?

No

Depending upon where you live most counties will not let you put an older motor in a newer car b/c of emissions. Also I'm pretty sure all the wiring and motor mounts would be different so it would be a lot more work than just swapping the motor in.

2000 2.2? are you sure it's not a 2.0? the 2.2's havent been produced since the early 90's.

if it comes out of a 626 and it's a 2.0, it'll work. keep the intake manifold too.

If it is a2.2 it's probably a f2t. Which is a million times better than an fsde. Universal tune with boost bump is usually around 200 whp and 280 wtq. Putting it in a protege would be a pain though
