Depends weather he had possesion of the football and had 2 feet in bounds. If in fact he did not have both of those things then the play would be blown dead anyway. the player has to maintain possesion of the football and the ground can not assist in the catching of the football.

Is a reception in the end zone followed by a dead ball fumble still a touch down?
First, there's no such thing as a "dead ball fumble." A ball must be live in order to be fumbled. Also, once a ball is possessed by the offense in the end zone, the play is over and there can be no fumble. If you're referring to a situation where a fumbled ball is blown dead by the referee, the only question is whether the ball was actually caught in the end zone. If it was, then a touchdown was scored which ends the play, and thus no fumble. If it was not a valid catch, then the pass was incomplete -- no fumble. The only situation where a fumble would nullify a touchdown would be if the ball was caught and then fumbled BEFORE crossing the goal line.

Is it a fumble if the player has been stopped and still standing up?
If a player is stopped then the whistle is usually blown because his forward progress has been stopped; therefore, the play is dead. You can't fumble the ball once the play is blown dead.

If a player with the ball trips and falls untouched and the ground causes a fumble is it a loose ball or dead ball ie ground caused the fumble?
In the NFL, the play would be a fumble as a player must be 'downed by contact' for the play to be whistled dead. If there was no contact causing the player to hit the ground the play is still active. In college football, the play would be dead as there is no 'downed by contact' rule and once the player is on the ground the play is whistled dead.
What is a fumble-rooskie?
It's basically a run play that's drawn up to be ran by an offensive lineman. The quarterback takes the snap but the center pulls the ball back and places the ball on the ground. The quarterback still goes through the motion of handing off the ball to a RB and the RB plays as if he has the ball. However, the ball that is on the ground is picked up and ran by an offensive lineman. The play is now an illegal play. Placing a live ball on the ground is incredibly risky considering the athleticism and awareness of defensive players. If a defensive player picks it up, it's a fumble recovery. And, considering that the offense is faking like it's a normal play, it's probably a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Nebraska used to run it under Tom Osborne
Is it a touchdown if the ball breaks the plane of the goal line on the out of bounds side when a player is diving?
The ball has to be in the touchdown zone. If it is above the zone it is still a touchdown. Take Troy Polamalu's touchdown on Dec,12,2010. He dived, broke the plane of the goal line but he was holding the football above the zone so it counts as a touchdown. In some cases the ref might not count it.
