What is a good substitute for borax?
It depends what you are looking to use the borax/substitute for. In a common cleaning capacity, say, for laundry or general household cleaning (even opening drains) Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (or ANY brand washing soda, generally available at grocery or hardware stores) is a common substitute. Note that while washing soda isn't toxic like borax, it IS a strong enough cleaner that one must wear gloves while using it, however. For the abrasive (scrubbing) effect of borax, use salt or baking soda--they aren't toxic. Again, depending what one was seeking to use the borax for, numerous substitutes exist, including ammonia + boiling water (for chocolate stain removal), baking soda + boiling water (opening clogged drains), Bac-Out enzyme cleaner (pet smell/stains, chocolate, blood removal, cooking oil stains), vinegar (thousands of uses), even kitty litter, and other specific natural enzyme formulas. Try using Google search for the specific use you seek (such as "oil removal" -Borax [in the quotation marks and with the dash in front of Borax]) and the search engine will (hopefully! ;->) return the full and detailed answer you seek.

Can i use cornstarch in making waffles?
sure, but why do you want to use it. Cornstarch is used as a thickener, and is activated when reaching waters' boiling point. Not sure if this answers your question or not. If I am to guess, you are wanting to substitute the cornstarch for baking soda/baking powder. Again, I may be wrong about why you want to use it. As far as I know, cornstarch doesn't function like baking powder/soda in baking. The two act as leavening agents (creating air bubbles in baked goods), if this is your line of thinking, then cornstarch would not substitute. Hope this helps! Happy cooking, I love waffles!
