a quarter note with a dot below it means stacatto, so you play the note very short and use a small amount of bow(with string instruments).

A dot placed over a note in music means that the note is to be played staccato (very short, and not held), the opposite of legato (smoothly). This is not to be confused with a short horizontal stroke placed over a note, which is an agogic accent, which means the note is to be held for its full time value (the opposite of a dynamic accent, an arrow-shaped sign, which means the note is to be played more loudly). In music you may also come across a group of staccato notes with a slur (curved line) over them. This means the notes are to be played semi-staccato (or semi-legato), which means that the notes are played not as short as staccato, but with a noticeable gap between the notes.
No, staccato is short and jumpy. It is shown by a dot under the note
