Is their a law on how many hours that any company can make you work? The company that I work for expects us to work 12 hours a day plus 8 on sat. and sun. (mandatory). And how many days of notice do they have to notify us of this?

Unless you have a written contract, you can be fired at any time for NO reason. If you don't accept the hours they require, you don't have a job.

It depends on your state laws.
Federal: "an employer may change an employee's work hours without giving prior notice or obtaining the employee's consent" http://www.dol.gov/elaws/faq/esa/flsa/015.htm
"The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require extra pay for weekend work. However, covered, non-exempt employees must be paid at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay for for the time worked over 40 hours in a workweek." http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/workhours/weekend.htm

There are no maximum work hour laws. If you don't like it, don't work. They cannot force you.
