No. Yes.

No, you can't upgrade it to be an iPhone 3GS because they are physically different. That is, the actual hardware is different.

iOS 6 is the software that was launched with the iPhone 5. You can run this software version on an iPod Touch (4th or 5th gen), any iPad except the original, and the iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, and 5. You have only this summer to update to it if your device is eligible for an update to iOS 7 coming this fall. If you are running iOS 5, you can update to it from Settings>General>Software Update.

How To Download iOS 6 Final and official Full Version?

iOS 6 came out of beta September 21, 2012 with the launch of the iPhone 5. You can update to the latest iOS 6.1.3 (6.1.4 with the iPhone 5) by going into Settings>General>Software Update or plugging your device into an iTunes authorized computer if you are running anything older than iOS 5. If you are not fond of the iOS 7 update, then you must update to iOS 6 before this fall because after that, Apple forces you to only update to the latest software version or not at all. But you don't have to worry about this is you have a 4th gen iPod Touch or iPhone 3GS which can't get iOS 7.


Which back cam is better for taking pictures iPhone 3gs vs iPod fourth gen?

Definitely the 3GS. It has a 3MP camera opposed to a 1.7MP camera on the 4th gen iPod Touch. The two upsides of the iPod Touch is that you have a front-facing camera and pictures look clearer on the iPod becuase it has a retina display, but if you sent a picture taken on the 3GS to the iPod Touch, it will look much better.
