Why is the fuse always on the 'live' side of the appliance?
If there was a fault to earth the casing of the appliance would remain live otherwise. Also there could be a large current from live to earth which could heat the wires to the extent that your house burns down. This is expensive! Neutral is near earth potential anyway. <<>> The fuse should be the first device in any circuit. When a fault occurs the potential across the circuit should become zero to ground. If the fuse was located on the downstream side of the load it would still open the circuit but every part of the circuit upstream from the load would still have a voltage potential to ground. Any one working on the circuit upstream from the load has the potential to receive a shock even though the fuse has opened the circuit. So to answer the question the placement of the fuse in a circuit is for safety reasons.
When a fuse is replaced what side of the fuse clip goes first?

Why is fuse always placed in the live wire of a circuit?
Purpose of the fuse is to save circuits from the damage due to high current and voltages caused during fault conditions. These faults affects the live wire. So fuses are kept there. Morever other parts such as ground, do not need this protection, since these high voltages gets automatically earthed.

No. A plug has a Hot side and is always live assuming your breaker/fuse is installed and working how it's supposed to. You can get electrocuted by touching the hot side and grounding out, either through the ground part of the plug or by being grounded by touching something that connects you to the earth.
