Tried searching for dies, becoming, becomes, expendable, and finally Ulagan... I couldn't find anything.
If I have Moto Erdene (or any expendable personality) is in my discard pile, and I use Moto Ulagin "Water Limited: A target Personality in a discard pile becomes honorably dead." Do I draw a card? Expendable reminder text: (Draw a card after your Expendable card dies).
Bonus question that seems obvious, but while I'm here: Can he make dishonorably dead personalities honorable? It seems like he can. (not sure if its relevant, but figured I'd ask.)

Expendable only triggers when a card is destroyed, and destroyed refers to the process of leaving play. So no.
