The board game in which players castle to protect their king and/or develop a rook is called Chess. To castle, the king and rook being castled can not have moved, the king may not be in check, there may not be a piece between the castling king and rook, and an opponent's piece may not be attacking the squares in which the king moves. To castle, the king moves two squares either towards the kingside rook or the queenside rook, and the rook is placed on the square the king passed through.
Castling takes one chess turn.

What is the move called when a pawn reaches the other side of the chess board?
This is called pawn promotion. When the pawn reaches the other side, it can promote to any other piece except pawn or king. Many players opt to promote their pawn to a queen, as it is the most powerful piece on the board (after the king, of course). However, this isn't always the best strategy; sometimes, a chess game can be won much faster and easier if the pawn promotes to a, say, knight. It's wise to consider what you're going to do with that promoted piece before you decide what to promote it to.
In chess can a bishop turn into a queen?
No. Only a pawn may "turn into a queen." The proper terminology for when a pawn reaches the other side of the board is "promoting." The pawn is promoted to queen or to any other piece you wish to choose. There is a well known game where one player's pawn reached the other side, but due to the unique placement of the remaining pieces on the board, if the pawn were promoted to queen, the game would have ended in an immediate stalemate. So the player chose to promote the pawn to a knight, which, again due to the unique placement of the pieces, immediately checkmated the enemy king.Now, if you prefer to say "turn into a queen", then by all means exercise your freedom of speech and say it that way. Chess is, after all, just a game.
Can you swap a rook and a pawn?
Yes. If you make it to the other side of the board (last square) with a pawn, you can then trade it for a queen or any other piece that is captured. You can have as many queens as you want just flip a castle upside down or put a pawn on top of some other piece.
