C# - Unexpected Symbol ERROR?

Question

So I have written this code, and I have been searching a lot of unity 3d questions, but I can't find the one I need. So basically on line 34 and 38 there seems to be an error with the "=" symbol. I am really confused on this one. (The code disables MouseLook when you press ESC and enables it with a button that says Resume Game)

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class UIManager : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public GameObject PausePanel;
 
     public bool isPaused;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         isPaused = false;
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         if (isPaused) {
             PauseGame (true);
         } 
         else {
             PauseGame (false);
         }
 
         if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Cancel")) {
             SwitchPause (); 
         }
     }
 
     void PauseGame (bool state){
         if (state) {
             PausePanel.SetActive (true);
             Time.timeScale = 0.0f; //Paused
             MouseLook MouseLook = GameObject.Find( "Player" ).GetComponent( "MouseLook" ) as MouseLook.MouseLook.enabled = false;
         } else {
             Time.timeScale = 1.0f; //Unpaused
             PausePanel.SetActive (false);
             MouseLook MouseLook = GameObject.Find( "Player" ).GetComponent( "MouseLook" ) as MouseLook.MouseLook.enabled = true;
         }
     }
 
     public void SwitchPause () { 
         if (isPaused){
             isPaused = false;
         }
         else {
             isPaused = true;
         }
     }
 }

Without knowing what the class MouseLook looks like I can at least say that there seems to be several issues with both these statements.

"MouseLook MouseLook = " is invalid, the defined variable cannot be the same as the data type. Try MouseLook mouseLook = instead.
MouseLook.MouseLook is invalid
"MouseLook.MouseLook.enabled = true;" is invalid because you cannot implicitly convert type `bool'

Try the following instead

 if ((GameObject.Find( "Player") != null) && (GameObject.Find( "Player").GetComponent( "MouseLook") != null))
 {
     GameObject.Find( "Player" ).GetComponent( "MouseLook" ).enabled = true;
 }

or better yet if you have tagged you player as "Player" do this

 if ((GameObject.FindWithTag( "Player") != null) && (GameObject.FindWithTag( "Player").GetComponent( "MouseLook") != null))
 {
     GameObject.FindWithTag( "Player" ).GetComponent( "MouseLook" ).enabled = true;
 }
