Yes, to some degree. It isn't an easily installable package (except for maybe Nitdroid) but it's certainly possible.

2-is meego working usable on n900?

It works and is "usable" depending on your goals. If you mean daily use as a phone, look for MeeGo 1.2 this April.

3-is usb host possibe?(i would go for it even if i have to modify the phone's hardware)

Yes, but there are a number of road blocks that have hampered progress.

4-if i overclock the cpu, are there big chances to damage the phone?

Not immediately. In time, yes.

5-what is the maximum frequency that the cpu can be overclocked to?

Depends on how lucky you are. Some people can barely get past 800MHz, others have gone 1.2GHz. I recommend not overclocking.
