A silicone based lubricant. The same stuff you can use on weatherstripping to make it last longer will also help your wiper inserts, but they're so cheap it's better just to save the silicone grease for the weatherstripping and buy new inserts
No there isn't something that will make them last any longer with out compromising the effectiveness of cleaning. Wiper blades are supposed to be replace at least once a year and maybe 2 times a year. Do yourself a favor and buy the factory refills from the dealer or buy Rain-X wiper blades. I have purchased just about every blade there is from the cheapo store brand to the triple edge. For my money nothing has worked better or lasted longer than the Rain-X blades. They worked so well I started selling them in our parts department. Every once in a while I'll get a customer that has a blade that is jumping or streaking, and it usually turns out to be a bent wiper arm or worn out spring on the wiper arm.
Do not put any type of lubricant on the windshield wipers. Anything you put on them will immediately transfer to the windshield which will leave you with less than desirable results. You can clean them every month or so with some rubbing alcohol, just wet a cloth with the alcohol and squeeze the wiping portion of the blade with the cloth and run it up and down the blade a few times, this will remove built up dirt and make them wipe better.
