How can I make, and register a new file type? Then after that, how will I be able to make my program read that type of file? Thank You!

This is, again, a very vague question. You seem to expect everybody here is working on Windows.
To associate a file to a program in Windows, you have to add an entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the Windows registry. Use regedit.exe to see tons of examples of how it's made. It should be very self-explanative.

Then to read your file I guess you need to write it first, huh? It all depends on the type of file you write. This could be anywhere from a simple text file to a binary file.
