Would it be possible to raise a piece of land from the ocean's floor?

Would it be possible to raise a piece of land (say the size of Texas or France) from the bottom of an ocean (say, the middle of the South Pacific)? More specifically, would it be possible (given the wealth & technical means), to

1. "cookie cut" cut a circular slice at the bottom of the ocean, say between the Easter Islands and the Equator
2. cut horizontally under the "cookie"
3. drill one or several wells to the core of the Earth
4. let the pressure from the molten core to push up the cookie until it breaches the surface
5. collapse the wells with a few nukes buried close to the wells and various depths

Would something like that be possible, or would that be doomed to fail?
