My 2003 Mondeo has a factory fitted roof ariel that works with the ford radio a mobile phone and the FORD Sat Nav if fitted. I have a Dell Axim X5 with a wired Rikaline 6010 receiver. What I was wondering was is it possible to get a cable to connect the roof ariel to the axim.

If the GPS antenna is already fitted on the roof then you will have to find where it's cable ends, and what connector it uses. Most of the roof antennas are merely antenna extenders without their own GPS logic - so you would still need a GPS receiver inside hte car.

You meant to connect the roof antanna to the Rikaline?
Unlikely.
You need the right antenna for your Rikaline which your roof antenna would not have. Also your roof antenna is probably NOT an active antenna.
Even if it is, therikaline GPS is unlikely to be able to power it.

My advise is: get an external antenna for your GPS.
