"But would the user suddenly find that he has an internal library of advanced scientific and technological knowledge equal to the "average" Coluan?"

Well, that depends on the author, but usually he would. When a character transforms or instantly alters his genetic code, that character would wind up athletic (able to immediately control the motor body functions with fine accuracy without prior training) or erudition(possessing instant knowledge of esoteric knowledge of obscure subjects or all-encompassing know how of academic studies also without prior training). Look at Ben 10's transformation to his aliens as an example of prodigious fictional adaptability.
