Not every song in the iTunes store is available to be made into a ringtone, but many are. You can tell which ones are available by looking for the "bell" icon.

To get a ringtone from an iTunes Store song, you have to buy twice. First you buy the song for US$0.69 - US$1.29. Then you create the ringtone and buy it for another US$0.99. You cannot create ringtones in iTunes for songs that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, i.e. songs you imported directly from a CD or purchased from AmazonMP3.

There is nothing that keeps you from creating ringtones that are in bad taste. I'm sure you've been in a public place and heard someone's phone ring with lyrics from a song that maybe seemed good at the time but are embarrassing in public. I have an acquaintance whose ringtone for when his wife calls is "Baby Got Back." I'm not sure his wife would appreciate this if she knew.
