For example, @ yahoo scroll to the bottom u see copyright 2006. What does the year stand for? Why do some sites show copyright 2002? Does it mean when the site was last updated or what?

The copyright is a statement of a law. The copyright law. In a nutshell it says that you have certain rights, as in other people can not use what you publish without your permission.
By putting the copyright on the document they are making sure you were informed that this is something that they have copyrights for.

It means that it was produced and published by that company in that year. It has been registered and is the intellectual property of that company.
To reproduce it without permission would be a breach of copyright. Especially if you plan to make profit from it.
The one on Yahoo would represent the format of the page and programming for yahoo answers

That's called a "copyright notice." It serves as notice to the public who the copyright holder is as well as showing the year of publication. You can read further about it on the US Copyright Office web site here: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#noc
Hope that helps!
