That all depends on what theory you believe. The current theory is that you can go approximately 25 miles down before you hit magma ( that's melted rock in case you don't know ). Not a good idea, but you may not even get close enough before the intense heat kills you, or you may have some kind of cave in.
Another theory is the "Hollow Earth" theory. Supposedly the Earth is more like a shell and great deal inside is hollow, with entrances both at the North and South Poles. There are websites that explain more on this. If this is true, you would dig so many miles in before you go to the great cavern and fall towards the other side.

You start digging up when you pass the center of the earth (in relation to the direction you started digging down in).

If you were to dig into the earth I would recommend at stopping at 25KM mark. You could dig to 30KM but if you go that far you will be a barbecue. To see why click on the link below.

Long before you turn up, you will run into the molten core of the Earth. You won't be able to dig into molten rock, iroc, etc.

When you dig past the center you are on your way up.
Take an asbestos suit with you, it may get a little warm!

It depends on where you start. Just get yourself a globe and see.
