Okay, if I run 5 km a day, plus eat 200 calories in the morning, then fast until dinner, and make me dinner 300-500 calories, what kind of results will i get if I eat no more than 700 calories? I am a size 8 and 5'7'' what size will i go down if i do this for 2 months?

When you don't eat your metabolism slows down and your body stores fat...
Eat several (5-6) small meals a day...your body will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.
(eat about every 2 hours)
The first 8-10 pounds you shed is water.
Meal suggestions:
piece of fruit
string cheese, summer sausage, cottage cheese/yogurt
tuna/turkey/ham sandwich (lettuce, tomatoe optional)
soup
raw veggies
boiled eggs
popcorn
Always eat a good dinner...meat, potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy
Low calorie sweets...ginger snaps, fig bars, 100% juice popsicles
Drink plenty of water
Drink milk or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)
Stay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods.
Cardio exercise is great, but most people don't continue for an extended period, do "daily" simple exercise like walking/hiking, biking and swimming which are low impact, playing games like basketball, baseball, or volleyball will help to lose weight, tone your body, make new friends and you'll have fun doing it.

I went on 700-800 calories a day with light exercise for three months and I lost 35 lbs. But It was very hard to keep up that low a calorie intake. It's just not enough energy if you're out doing alot. If you're running 5k then you want to think about maybe 1000.
Remember to stay healthy. It's not all about thin.

At 5'7" tall, a size 8 sounds perfect. The diet that you're writing about sounds a lot less perfect. Those aren't enough calories for a human to get the required nutrients needed to sustain health. I don't know who's telling you you're overweight (probably no one), but you're not. If you feel a need to diet, you should probably talk with a doctor. Your problem seem to be psychological.

I am no expert, but that does not sound like a good combination to me. It sounds like to few calories for that much physical activity. You will be burning to many calories with the activity and may do more harm than good. Speak to your doctor or a physical trainer, you need to know what your limits are and what your body needs to stay in good health as well.
