It matters on what burns. Paper will crumble into a little hot ball, then turn into ash. Gunpowder will explode, leaves crumble like paper, and some things do not burn. Here is an example of items that don't burn: rocks.

When a liquid burns, it usually forms a layer of un-burned vapor at the surface of the liquid with the flame occurring in the bulk gas containing both the fuel vapor and air. The heat given off by the flame conducts and radiates back through the layer of un-burned vapor to vaporize more liquid to keep the vapor layer intact and continue feeding fuel vapor to the flame.

It depends the substance, but usually a chemical reaction occurs. Due to the extreme increase in temperature, the molecules move at a far greater velocity increasing the likelihood of collision and thus increasing the likelihood of a reaction. Since this is a chemical reaction and not a phase change, the substance which was burned does not change back upon cooling.
