Why do young fold mountains have rounded peaks?
Eventually, natural weathering (over an extremely long time) will wear the rounded peaks into sharper edges. Most extreme weathering occurred during the ice-ages. Glaciers scoured out 'U' shaped valleys, shaved the sides of the mountains, sharpening the mountains into their present shapes.

How do upwarped mountains become sharp peaks?
I'm not sure I understand your "upwarped" description, but mountains have sharp peaks because of the fact that all the elements come from above. When rain, snow, or hail form, then they hit the top of the mountain first, and as they need to keep falling, they go to the edges, and slowly erode the edges so that they have a faster path to the ground (gravity). As the erosion keeps developing, it wears away more and more of the edges, making the peak into a cone shaped surface, which just keeps on getting thinner and thinner as the elements wear it away. 1.
