Can a operating system for a computer be downloaded onto the computer?

Yes, a computer operating system can be downloaded onto your computer. One of the most common file formats to download operating systems is the .img file format. The .img file format can be used by programs like Oracle's VirtualBox, to create a virtual computer on your own computer. This uses the operating system that is saved in the .img file without overriding your current computers operating system and basically creates another "fake" or virtual computer within your own computer. However, these operating systems can also be used to replace your current operating system or to dual boot your computer, this means to have two operating systems installed on one computer at the same time. Operating systems can also be downloaded for the sole purpose of replacing your current operating system. For example, when a person upgrades their computer from running Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, they are essentially downloading a new operating system on to their computer from Microsoft, but in a way that it completely replaces their current operating system.

How format a PC to run only Linux?

Putting a password on your bios will prevent anyone but the user from running the computer let alone installing another operating system. Can't think of any other way to prevent operating systems from being installed/used. Encrytped hard drives can be formatted. Password protected bootloaders don't prevent other systems from being installed.
