A check is cancelled when the person who issues it draws two parallel lines across the check and writes cancelled in it. This way, the check is no longer a legal tender and is worthless going forward. Since you are the one doing it, there is no need for the bank to return it to you. If you are asking about a bounced check, then yes, the bank will return it to you.
This is legal as long as the person cashing/depositing the check is the payee and it is signed by the owner of the bank account or an authorized signer on the account. It doesn't matter who writes out the check, it matters who signs it.
In regards to check cashing, a single or one party check is a check in which the check writer and beneficiary are the same person. In other words, if I write a check from my bank account to myself, I am writing a single party check. Contrast this with a two party check in which one person or company writes a check to a second person or company, or a three party check in which one person or company writes a check to a second person or company and a third party guarantees some part of the check (usually the funds).

If the words and numbers are crossed out and changed the bank may not accept
That person that cashed it can be charged for fraud. You must contact the bank concerning this.

Yes, a person with a bank account (a depositor) can write a check against that account for a sum of money. The person given the check (who the check is made out to) then presents it to their bank and the banks between them move the money from the account of the person who wrote the check to the account of the person who was given the check.
A bank draft is a check issued by a bank. It is drawn on the account for a person who has money deposited with the bank. A bank draft is also called a certified check. It is made out to the business or person the customer of the bank needs to pay.
