Is it possible to hang a building from an asteroid?

Not quite sure what you mean with hang from it; the asteroid would attract the building (much less so than Earth does, but still), so the asteroid would be "downward" for anybody close to the asteroid.In principle there is no reason why you couldn't build something on an asteroid, but that would not "hang... from the asteroid".

How can a asteroid get out of a asteroid belt?

An asteroid can get out of the belt because of another huge asteroid hitting it or by getting pulled into an unstable orbit by the gravity of Jupiter. There are gaps called Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt at certain distances from the sun because the influence of Jupiter causes orbits at those distances to become unstable. A collision with a comet would be another possible reason, but this is very unlikely (except in Hollywood movies).
