Can two creatures block one attacking creature in magic the gathering?

The defending player declares two creatures to block one attacker. The attacking player then orders the blockers, this decides which is damaged first, before the damage is then dealt.
So a 3/3 and a 4/4 block an attacking 4/7. The attacking player orders the blockers, he can put the 3/3 first, 4/4 second. When damage is dealt, it will deal 3 damage to the first ('lethal damage'), and 1 to the second, and receive 7 damage in return. The 3/3 and the 4/7 will therefore be destroyed.

How does trample works on magic if a lot of creatures block a trample creature?
If multiple creatures block a creature with trample, the attacking player assigns damage to the blocking creatures equal to the power of the attacking creature. Ex. A creature with power 10 and trample attacks. You block with 4 creatures. The attacking player may assign the 10 damage as he/she chooses among the blocking creatures. If any damage is still left over, that would go through to you, the defending player. Note: The attacking creature will take damage equal to the combined power of all blocking creatures.

Can creatures with summoning sickness attack back when they are defending in 'Magic The Gathering'?
Defending creatures deal damage to an attacking creature's toughness when they block equal to their power. It's called 'blocking', not 'attacking back'. Summoning sickness has no affect on blocking. Summoning sickness is the inability of a creature to use tap (tap symbol) abilities or attack until the next turn of the owner who summoned it.
Can you attack amonster on the field and an opponent directly in the same turn even if the creature attacking the creature doesnt destroy it?
You can't attack an opponent's creature directly. you attack your opponent directly with your creatures. It's up to them to decide whether or not to block. The exception to this is if one of your creatures has the Provoke ability which means you can force another creature to block it.

Can you attack a tapped creature in magic the gathering with an attack target creature card?
Creatures cannot be 'attacked' in Magic the Gathering. Players are attacked, and creatures are declared as blockers, although there are a few special abilities that can force things to attack or block. A tapped Planeswalker can be attacked, as per the usual rules for declaring attacks against Planewalker cards. Targeting a creature with a damage dealing spell or ability is not 'attacking' them. The creature being tapped has nothing to do with its targeting eligibility, it can still be targeted by cards that deal damage. Damage spells never target Planewalkers directly, the cards target the controlling player and the damage redirected to the Planeswalker from there. This can be done to a tapped Planeswalker.

What does protection against green mean in magic the gathering?
Protection From: in Magic the Gathering means a selection of things. The Protected permanent cannot be damaged by a source it is protected from, nor can it be enchanted/equipped, nor can it be blocked, nor can it be targeted. Players refer to this as DEBT protection - Damage, Enchant/Equip, Block, Target. So a creature with Protection from Green cannot take any damage from a Green source, it can't be enchanted or Equipped with a green Aura or Equip (equips are generally colourless but it's not impossible for them to have one), it cannot be blocked by Green creatures, and it can't be targeted by a Green spell or ability. If however a Green effect does not do any of the above, then Protection will not stop it. If a green spell said 'tap all creatures controlled by target opponent', none of this is covered by 'DEBT' so the protected creature will still be tapped. Note also that non-targeted damage (ie, Hurricane) is still protected against because it deals damage. Lastly, if a creature/spell is multicolour, everything it does, like damage or targeting, counts as being each of those colours. So if the creature is Green/Red, it is still a Green creature so can't block a protection from: Green creature, nor deal damage to it if itself was blocked by one.
In magic the gathering if I use multiple deal 1 damage to target creature cards on a monster with 5 toughness all in one turn does the monster die from the accumulated damage or just block all the 1's?
Damage stays on a creature until the end of turn, so if you deal 1 damage to that creature five times, then it has taken five damage in total, and will be destroyed.
