Official wow patches are applied automatically, there is no way you can NOT download the patch. If there is a patch available, the client will update itself. If you choose not to update, you will not be able to play.
It depends on the play.
You can't. If you don't have the current patch downloaded you can't play.

You need to download the patch.
Starcraft will automatically patch itself if an update is required, but normally it doesn't.
No.
Yes, you can play on private servers that have an earlier patch than you do. it might take some tweaking, but should be able to play just fine.
A 'patch' is a piece of code that is used to alter the original software. This may be to correct a fault in the software (known as a bug), for example. To answer your question, then, you cannot play a game patch as it is not the full game. Just a portion of it.
If a patch has been released by infinity ward then when you go onto modern warfare two it will require a update to proceed, once you have done this the patch will be used whenever you play.
