we always hear that, over clock can spoilt the processor due to over heat

but is it down clock also can burn the cpu ?

My fren have one AMD Barton 3000+ . Original FSB is 200 Mhz. Is it possible i run it at 133MHz FSB? will it create more heat and spoilt the processor ?

Why would you wanna do that? you paid extra for that speed. But lowering the FSB will reduce heat and preserve the processor for even longer period of lifespan. Theoretically at least. Believe me, it's not worth it since the effect of downclocking will not significantly help prolonging lifespan of a processor.

LOL, not a brilliant action in my opinion. Games significantly dependable on graphic card, just get a rubbish card and plugged it in.
