I want some symbols/text in math mode to be Arial? This cannot ve done by changing the settings for various kinds of text in math mode like the default italic text or the default bold text. Put another way, I want something like \arial{text} the same there is stuff like \mathbb{text} and \mathcal{text}. How do I do this?

(Note: After my answer, the OP specified that a pdfLaTeX solution is wanted.) Xe(La)TeX offers the FakeBold font feature -- meant for "rare situations [when] users may want to mechanically distort the shapes of the glyphs in the current font" (fontspec manual, section 10.13). Use at your own risk. ;-)
% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
\documentclass[fleqn]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Schola}
\setmathfont[FakeBold=0.5]{Latin Modern Math}
\begin{document}
This is some text.
\[ F_\mathrm{D} = m \ddot z = b \lambda \rho \frac{I}{P_0} \vec{c} \]
Sadly, the math is less thick than the text.
\end{document}
Output without FakeBold:
Really strange demand..
Changing math font may help you---font Euler can be loaded by \usepackage{euler}.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{euler}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
E = mc^2.
\]
\end{document}
In addition, \usepackage[LGRgreek]{mathastext} may be what you are looking for, see here:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[LGRgreek]{mathastext}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
E = mc^2.
\]
\end{document}
Or, if you want to use your own font, have a look at the section 3.4 "Declaring math alphabets" of document fntguide (type texdoc fntguide in terminal window).
Indeed, I strongly advise not to do evil things like printing all math upright.. PLUS ONE.
