Why did the Half-Blood Prince kill Dumbledore?
Albus Dumbledore was killed by Severus Snape. Although Dumbledore, who was dying anyway, had already arranged for Snape to kill him so that Draco Malfoy wouldn't have to and so that the Elder wand would not change masters. However, as Draco disarmed Dumbledore shortly before his death that part of the plan did not work.
Why did Severus Snape kill Albus Dumbledore?
Dumbledore put a cursed ring on his hand which would have killed him had Snape not stopped it. Snape told Dumbledore he only had about a year left to live and Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was plotting his death but didn't want Draco Malfoy's soul to be damaged by this. He also knew that Voldemort would want the Elder wand and that Snape needed to keep convincing Voldemort he was on his side. So, Dumbledore told Snape to kill him which meant Voldemort trusted him, Draco kept his soul intact and Dumbledore died as the last true owner of the Elder wand - although because Draco disarmed him before he died that part of the plan didn't work. Also because Dumbledore says that he would rather be killed by Snape than one of the other Death-Eaters, such as Belatrix Lestrange who, as Dumbledore put it 'like to play with their food'. Snape also made an unbreakable vow to Narcissa (or Cissy) Malfoy, to help Draco in his deed set by 'The Dark Lord', and if it should seem Draco would fail, he commit the deed himself. (The deed being to kill Albus Dumbledore)

Who asked Snape to kill Dumbledore?
Dumbledore asked Snape to kill Dumbledore. Over the summer between the 5th and 6th books, Dumbledore went looking for the ring Voldemort had stolen from his grandfather Marvolo Gaunt (well, actually, he stole it from his uncle Morfin Gaunt, who inherited it after Marvolo died), and which had originally belonged to Salazar Slytherin. Voldemort had made the ring into a Horcrux and put a curse on it. What Voldemort didn't know was that the black stone in the ring was actually one of the Deathly Hallows -- the Resurrection Stone. Dumbledore had never gotten over the death of his baby sister Ariana, who was killed by a spell during the fight Dumbledore's brother Aberforth had with Dumbledore's friend, Gellert Grindelwald. Even though he knew the ring was probably cursed, he just couldn't resist touching the stone, because he wanted to see his sister again so badly. Dumbledore immediately found Snape, and Snape was able to contain the curse in Dumbledore's hand. If Snape hadn't done this in time, the curse would have spread to the rest of Dumbledore's body and killed him fairly quickly. But even though Snape was able to contain the curse, Dumbledore was still doomed: he had only about a year to live. So, since Voldemort was already planning to make Draco Malfoy kill Dumbledore, Dumbledore decided to ask Snape to kill him instead. Dumbledore knew that Voldemort didn't really expect Draco to succeed at killing him; Draco's parents had fallen out of favor with Voldemort, and Voldemort just wanted to heap more misery onto the family, by making them watch their son fail at the task and be killed for it. And even if Draco was able to kill him, Dumbledore didn't want Draco's soul to be damaged by murder. Also, if Snape killed Dumbledore, it would seemingly prove his loyalty to Voldemort, and ensure his continuing worth as an adept and loyal Death Eater.

Yes he is, he died in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.Draco Malfoy was ordered by Lord Voldemort to kill Dumbledore but Severus Snape made an unbreakable vow to Narcissia Malfoy, Draco's mother, that he would protect Draco.However, Dumbledore had put on the Gaunt's family ring, which was cursed. Snape told Dumbledore that there was no way to completely stop said curse and he'd die within a year.
