If the Devil would have won the war in Heaven and God was tossed into the Fiery pit, would that make the Devil good and God evil?
No slander suggested I'm just curious on your perceptions!

Interesting question. I don't claim to have the answer...here are my musings so far:
It depends on the reality of how we actually exist. Even though from my (Christian) perspective it is impossible, if God were destroyed, would not all his creation (angels included) be destroyed as well? Do we exist in the mind of God? Can we exist apart from God?
If the Devil were to redefine reality, "good" would look very different. I don't believe the world or anything would survive under the standard of the Devil's definition of "good". God is supposed to be the "creator", and the Devil the "destroyer".

I think you mean Lucifer...There was no devil till lucifer was cast down.
Lucifer wasn't evil by nature, he was jealous and rebelious. He got into with your god because he didn't believe that people made from mud (humans) deserved the same attention and love as the children of the fire (angels).
Taking into account if this was a real thing, and Lucifer had overthrown god from his throne there probably wouldn't be a big difference. If there were real angels then maybe Lucifer would unite them against humans, or maybe just leave us to our own devices (like we so long have been).
Considering Lucifer's attitude, I do not believe he would create a hell to cast down god and imprison him in. I do however think that he would probably have god stripped of all his devine rights and cast him to earth. That would be enough of a hell I'm sure.
It just doesn't make sense to me, in the bible stories, that the devil would have any interest in humans regardless. Lucifer certainly didn't care for them, but he wasn't malicious about it. It seems almost sadistic that god would take away his wings and give a hateful mentality.

No slander taken :)
However, the premise of your question is wrong. The battle in heaven was between Satan the Devil and his demons and Michael the Archangel, not God himself. It was Michael who tossed them all out of the heavenly realm (not into a fiery pit btw - they're in Tartarus (read the book of Titus)). And considering Michael had the backing of Almighty God, the Devil would never have won.
But for the sake of argument, let's just look at this. Let's say you are witnessing a gunfight. There's the good guy in the white hat. And the bad guy in the black hat. It happens that black hat is faster on the draw and kills white hat. Does that mean that because black hat won he suddenly became GOOD? I think not.
