As far as I know there is a "desktop" java (J2SE) build for the Nokia
tablets, but it allows you to run .jar java applications, not
applets. What you want is a way to run java APPLETS inside a browser.

That is currently not possible because Nokia has decided not to
support Java and do a browser Java plug-in.

A possible option would be for you to play Flash games, although I
have found very few worth playing

The last option, and the most attractive imho, is using the Garnet OS
Virtual Machine,

which is free, to basically run any PalmOS based game on the Nokia.
There are VERY good PalmOS games, starting with the paid ones from
Astraware
