I would stay away from high rep deadlifts; but high rep squats are a great movement. If you wanted to swap in something for the deadlifts then power cleans would be a good alternative.
In terms of how to train them there are two different approaches. You can measure total volume (repetitions) or you can measure time under tension. For example you could perform a 20-rep set of squats, or you could simply squat for two minutes without racking the bar (rest in the standing position). For advanced trainees you can then start timing your rest period and do something like 1 minute squatting, 2 minutes rest - alternating for 5-10 total sets.
Supplements that can boost musclular endurance include beta-alanine (lactic acid buffer) and creatine. Taking in good quality carbohydrates prior to training will also give you better endurance, and caffeine has been shown to have a positive effect on work capacity as well.
