I have recntly downloaded a PAL game to use on my US region Wii. I know that they are of different regions, so I used RegionFrii to convert the PAL iso into an NTSC one. The program now recognizes the ISO as NTSC, but the WiiBrickBlocker recognizes it as PAL. Can someone help me?

And also, how exactly does the WiiBrickBlocker help prevent the blocking of the Wii? What actually happens when it's patching an ISO file?

Brickblocker will always identify the disk from the region its from. All it does is disable the update on the disk, it does not and cannot change the region of the disk.

So in that case, I'm now able to play the now-NTSC ISO on my NTSC Wii right?

In case if anyone needs to know, my Wii has the Argon modchip.

Well if you have done it right... yes, go for it :)

I haven't tried burning Wii games before (still busy and stuff, plus I don't have blank DVD's), so I'm not sure if there's a step that I missed.

All you have to do is get the ISO file, convert it to the appropriate region (if necessary), then burn the ISO file onto a DVD with programs like Nero, ImageBurn, etc.

Am I wrong?

If your modchip is setup for region free, you don't even need to change the region, just run it through brickblocker. If your chip is not region free then yes as you describe.

Burn it onto quality media (verbatim) using image burn at 4x speed.

To be honest, all this info is posted on this site in many times, a little searching would have done wonders.
