1.How do i get my iphone back to the origonal way it was? Do a restore in iTunes

2. If i get free apps can i update them from the app store and if now how do i update them? to update and download 'Free' apps you can use an app called Installous which is available from Cydia

3. Can i plug my iphone into itunes or will it detect that my device is jailbroken? yes you can still sync with iTunes

Do a barrel roll!
yeah, this one is pretty much settled. Pretty hard to mess anything up after your jailbreak is running and didn't crash/brick during the jailbreak process.

yeah people above me pretty much have it covered. Also wanted to add one thing though, when you do a restore through i tunes, your phone is back to its original factory state. meaning if you take it back to the store to get it fixed or replaced, they will never know if you jailbroke it or did anything else with it. Jailbreaking does nothing bad to your phone, you can always restore it back and its brand new again.

Best parts of jailbreaking is probably customization with awesome themes and stuff it really makes your phone look cool lol

1) Restore it in iTunes. All a jailbreak is is a software modification that allows the unsigned code to be run and root file access. Therefore, simply restoring to an official firmware will reset your iPhone.

2) No. Unless you already own the app on the App Store, then download it in Installous. You can always update them through Installous, however.

3) iTunes cannot detect if your iPhone is jailbroken; however an application called i-FunBox can, as long as the "afc2add" LauchDaemon is installed via Cydia.
