What gets burned or destroyed inside a 120V device if you plug it in a 240V socket?

Typically, everything that cannot handle the extra voltage will get damaged. (Note: There are different style plugs on equipment to prevent this very question.) Often there is a fuse in the equipment which might limit the damage, so check for a blown one first. The extra voltage will force extra current into the device, so switches will burn and things will melt.

How do you change the spark plugs on a 2001 Toyota tacoma with a 24L?
You need a six extension and a spark plug socket with a rubber stop inside. The spark plugs are located on top of the engine. They are about 4 inchs inside the head. Using the extenion put the socket with the rubber piece inside which will grip the plugs when they are unscrewed allowing you to remove the plugs. When installing use the same socket but press the plugs inside the socket so they are being gripped which will you to slowing lower them inside the head with the extension and get them started. I suggest you start them by hand.

Why does one bulb in a fixture blow out?
One possible reason is arcing inside the lamp socket. Loose bulbs can arc inside the socket. One sure sign of arcing is if the light "flickers" when it is on. Take the bulb out of the fixture and examine the contacts on the base. If any part of the base appears burned, there is arcing inside the socket. Arcing can cause a bulb to blow prematurely. Make sure the bulb is tight when istalling a new one. The best cure is to replace either the socket if it's removable, or the whole fixture if it's not. Also if it's an enclosed fixture, the heat from the light bulb can get trapped inside, causing the bulb to overheat, thereby causing it to fail prematurely. This is likely if you have too large a light bulb in the fixture, i.e. using a 100 watt bulb in a fixture designed for a 60 watt bulb. Try a lower wattage bulb.
