Abstract: We show the Teichm"uller space of a non-orientable surface with marked points (considered as a Klein surface) can be identified with a subspace of the Teichm"uller space of its orientable double cover. Also, it is well known that the mapping class group $extMod(N_g;k)$ of a non-orientable surface can be identified with a subgroup of $extMod(S_{g-1};2k)$, the mapping class group of its orientable double cover. These facts together with the classical Nielsen realization theorem are used to prove that every finite subgroup of $extMod(N_g;k)$ can be lifted isomorphically to a subgroup of the group of diffeomorphisms $extDiff(N_g;k)$. In contrast, we show the projection $extDiff(N_g)oextMod(N_g)$ does not admit a section for large $g$.
