Unsaturated vegetable oils tend to be liquid at room temperature, but they can also be 'hardened', through a chemical process called hydrogenation, to make them solid at room temperature.
Saturated fats, for both animal and vegetable
To harden oil, you can add a metallic soap such as lithium or calcium that will act as a catalyst to promote the oxidation of the oil. This process, known as oil hardening, is frequently used to create paints or coatings that require a hardened finish.

No, not all vegetable oils are non-electrolytes. Some vegetable oils, such as olive oil and sesame oil, contain small amounts of electrolytes like potassium and magnesium. However, the overall electrolyte content in vegetable oils is low compared to other foods like fruits and vegetables.
Animal fats tend to go rancid with time. Vegetable oils will too eventually, but have a longer shelf life.

Hydrogenated oils
"Cooking oil" is actually a broad term for purified fat derived from plants which is normally liquid at room temperature. "Vegetable oil," when used to label a cooking oil product may refer to a specific oil like rapeseed oil or to a blend of different oils. Not all vegetable oils are edible - some are useful only as fuel oils. Not all cooking oils are vegetable oils - for example there are several nut oils and oils from gourds and melons that can be used in cooking. The non-vegetable cooking oils are seldom used in baking, so for the purposes of baking, the terms cooking oil and vegetable oil are pretty much interchangeable. Any recipe that calls for one can use the other interchangeably with the caveat that some oils are lower fat than others and some of them are more tolerant to heat than others. Olive oil can be substituted for cooking oil, but it changes the flavor a little bit.
Of course, any foods store has vegetable oils.
