From the official USA Volleyball rule book...
11.1 REACHING BEYOND THE NET
11.1.1 In blocking, a blocker may touch the ball beyond
the net, provided that he/she does not interfere with
the opponents’ play before or during the latter’s
attack hit.
11.1.2 After an attack hit, a player is permitted to pass his/her
hand beyond the net, provided that the contact has been
made within his/her own playing space.
USAV 11.1.2: A player is not permitted to pass hand(s)
beyond the net inside the antennas and contact the ball
over the opponent’s court.

Yes but only to block an attack by the other team. The ball must have been struck by the other team first so that it would go over the net. It can be the other team's first, second, or third hit. As previously stated you cannot touch the net or reach over to interfere with a ball that was not on its way over the net.

You can as long as the opponents are sending the ball towards the net, at least in the ref's line of sight.....for example...lets say the setter on the opposing team sets up a play but the ball wavers towards the net in the refs line of site, you are allowed to reach over to block it down or stuff it..again as others mentioned..DO NOT TOUCH the net in any way

No. Unless you are jousting (the ball is somewhat right above the net).
You can't just jump and stuff a set from the setter (that is if you can even reach that far lol)
Obviously, if you are blocking and your hands go a little bit over, there's not going to be a call, but if it is too far over, then the play will be stopped.

Except on a serve, you can reach over the net as long as you do not touch the net. It's common to reach over the net on a block.

As long as you don't touch the ball or interfere with any of the play thats going on. Otherwise it's called breaking the plain of the net.

no you are not...unless the ball is in the act of coming over the net on the third hit.
The ref. could call you for roofing for reaching over. Sometimes they are really strict, other times they let it fly. IT just depends on what type of refs you get.

No, if you do its the other teams point and ball. Your not aloud to go underneath the net either.

You're never allowed to reach over the net and you're never allowed to touch the net either.
