What will happen to a radioactive material when it is heated and at what point will it burn out completely?

Just like any other material, it gets warmer, most likely expands, and may
transition from solid to liquid and/or from liquid to gas. If it's already in the
gaseous state, then its pressure increases.
Its rate of radioactive decay is not affected.

Why are rocks hot?
If a rock is hot, it has been heated by a source of heat, either man-made or natural. However the rock itself, may be the source of heat - in which case it contains radioactive material undergoing decay and is most likely dangerous!
What is the motion created when heated material continually rises cools and sinks?
A convection current is created when a heated material continually rises, cools and sinks. Plate tectonics are driven by this type of motion,

That depends on the material from which the ball is made, if this material is elastic then no.
