Pluck the string with your finger or with anything (like a pick or the hammer of a piano) and it will cause the string to vibrate at a frequency which is determined by the thickness of the string and the length of the string (which is a fixed length on a piano, but is determined by where you fret (push down on with your fingertip) the string on instruments like Guitars and violins.
The frequency of the vibration determines the note... since sound IS vibration.

Violinist who sits at the front near the conductor?
String instruments sit at the front of the orchestra because of the volume/intensity of the sound that they are able to produce compared to the brass, woodwind, and percussion. If the strings were to be placed behind the band, then the audience would have a hard time hearing the string instruments, because band instruments generally produce louder sounds than string instruments. It is because of the volume balance that sometimes even the string instruments are rearranged. In example, sometimes the violas and the cellos switch places because the cellos play to softly, or because the violas play too loudly, or because of both.
