What differs the singularity of a black hole from a white hole?And a black hole from a worm hole?And is it possible to escape a black hole by travelling faster than light?

There is no such thing as a 'white hole.' When black holes were first postulated, astronomers believed that there'd be a matching counterpart called a white hole, where matter and radiation would just come 'bursting out'... they *thought* they found them in Quasars. Turns out, Quasars themselves are powered by black holes.
A wormhole is theoretically *possible* between two black holes, however - nothing could travel through it. As proposed, the tube or tunnel it would form would be infinitely long, and infinitely narrow - so the first bit of matter trying to go through it would 'plug up' the end. An electron would be big enough to block the passage.
Within the Event Horizon of a black hole, the escape velocity would, indeed, be greater than the speed of light... but, so far as we can tell, the same rules apply inside the event horizon as they do in normal space - you *can't* reach the speed of light.

This is really to many questions inside of one question, and multiple various topics. So, I will answer the last question only.
It is not possible to escape from a black hole according to the current theories of the composition of the theoretical black hole. I might add that no one has ever seen a black hole, so all of this discussion is just conjecture.
Traveling at the speed of light is not possible for mankind at this moment or at any time in the forseeable future since it would require speeds in excess of 13,900 times the max speed of any existing space craft. Acceleration to the speed of light would also more than likely leave all of the vehicle occupants as smears of goo on the insides of the space ship due to the phenominal "G" forces one might encounter.

White holes do not exist, and nothing can surpass the speed of light, there is no escape from a black hole.

White Holes. Worm Holes and traveling faster than light have never been observed or proved in any sensible way, so its a pointless exercise in answering such a question as you have posed.

White Holes and wormholes are only theoretical....black holes are proven fact.
Even if faster-than-light-speed was possible with a black hole, you'd never come out in one piece....and whatever DID make it out would just vaporize this side of the event horizon.

White holes are postulated to be the exits from black holes via wormholes.
If your traveling faster than the speed of light you could escape from beyond a black holes event horizon, the problem is you can not accelerate to the speed of light without consuming all your mass. If you have not yet reached the event horizon you don't need to travel faster than light, just be very powerful.
