If you want to open an individual account then you must be atleast 18 years old. But, if you are a minor (less than 18 yrs.) you can always open a joint account with any of your adult family members like mother, father, elder brother etc. banks do not say no to any customer who wishes to open a bank account (Unless they have a valid reason because the customer is bankrupt or has criminal record etc.)
And - To get an overdraft facility you must be either employed or in a business in which you are earning an income every month.
Old enough to get a bank account. If you withdraw more money than you have, no matter your age, you will get an overdraft.
In the UK you can get a bank account from the age of 11. You can get a savings account before that.
If you're referring to a bank overdraft, any age really. An overdraft is just when you've spent more than you have in your account. Different banks have different policies. Some allow you to tie your (presumably) checking account to a savings account, and provided that you have funds in the savings account, they will automatically move money over for you (for a fee of course). If you are over 18 and eligible, you can also sign up for a line of credit which is basically a credit card, only with out the card and only for your bank account. If you are out of money in checking and savings, and you have a line of credit, they will take money from there. Many places don't like having to charge you for poor money management, but they do it anyways because it is a potential avenue to make some money. If you find yourself in a hard spot, talk to your bank because many times they will forgive your first overdraft.
