No. If you are Married Filing Separately, then you only can claim your personal exemption. Your wife's personal exemption only can be claimed by her if you're Married Filing Separately. Your spouse, whether filing jointly or separately, can't be considered your dependent.

How can i claim my husband as a dependent?

You don't claim a spouse as a dependent. If you are married you have only two option to legally file your taxes. These are Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Jointly is where you file together and you don't file a spouse as a dependent but you still receive all benefits as if they were a dependent. You will get a higher Standard Deduction and get two exemptions plus any other dependents you may have. Married Filing Separately requires both of you to file the same way and each has to enter the other spouses social security number on their return. You can't file the spouse as a dependent this way.

Been told that I cannot file taxes because parents claimed me as a dependent but made over 3000 is this true?

Absolutely, positively not.Whether your parents or anyone else claims you as a dependent has absolutely no effect on your obligation or ability to file taxes. Some people mistakenly believe that if your parents claim you as a dependent, they claim your income, your withholding and your refund, too. This is absolutely not true.People who make more than a certain amount are obligated to file taxes. However, ANYONE is permitted to file taxes. If you are due a refund, you must file taxes in order to get the refund. Your parents cannot get your refund for you. Whether your parents can claim you as a dependent has absolutely nothing to do with you. You must file your own taxes for your own income and withholdings. And if you owe taxes, you are obligated to file and pay them.
