FLAXSEED OIL also known as linseed oil, amber-colored, fatty oil extracted from the cotyledons and inner coats of the linseed. The raw oil extracted from the seeds by hydraulic pressure is pale in color and practically without taste or odor. When boiled or extracted by application of heat and pressure, it is darker and has a bitter taste and an unpleasant odor. Linseed oil has long been used as a drying oil in paints and varnish. It is also used in making linoleum, oilcloth, and certain inks.
Flaxseed oil is not an edible oil and should not be used in cooking -

No, do not use it for cooking.
Don't use flax oil for cooking. Oils high in essential fatty acids are not good for cooking. In fact, heat can turn these healthy fats into harmful ones. Add flax oil to foods after cooking and just before serving.
Use flaxseed oil to replace other oils and butter. Flaxseed can stand in for all of the oil or shortening called for in a recipe because of its high oil content. Use a 3 to 1 substitution ratio. For example, if a recipe calls for 1/3 cup of oil, use 1 cup of milled flaxseed to replace the oil. Note: When flaxseed is used instead of oil, baked goods tend to brown more rapidly.
Many people equate the taste of flaxseed oil to melted butter— and it can be used in the same way. Brush it onto corn on the cob, spread it on bread with a pastry brush, drizzle it over salads and steamed vegetables and use it to make salad dressings and marinades.

For dietary purposes, usually taken as a capsule - but oil in a bottle can be added to dishes after cooking. No, you do not want to cook with, the benefits of flax are the essential fatty acids (omega3's) - these are not the same as fats used for cooking. Also try ground flax seeds, you can sprinkle them over salads, pastas, cereals, etc..

As far as I know, you are not suppose to cook with flax seed oil, just like olive oil, but not 100% sure.
