The original panel to the attic is typically drywall, not wood. But, replacing it with a screen would be a bad idea. You would be violating the fire code and would allow a fire in the garage to easily spread to the rest of the house. Also, I don't think it would help to cool the garage very much because the temperature in the attic is higher than the temperature in the garage.
