Is there a way to get find to execute a function I define in the shell?
For example:
dosomething () {
echo "Doing something with $1"
}
find . -exec dosomething {} \;
The result of that is:
find: dosomething: No such file or directory
Is there a way to get find's -exec to see dosomething?

Since only the shell knows how to run shell functions, you have to run a shell to run a function. You also need to mark your function for export with export -f, otherwise the subshell won't inherit them:
export -f dosomething
find . -exec bash -c 'dosomething "$0"' {} \;
