If ever a creature's toughness is reduced to zero (or less), it will be destroyed as a state-based effect. If a 1/1 creature gets a -1/-1 counter, then effectively it has a toughness of zero, and will be destroyed.

Edit: Note that a creature having 0 toughness is not a destroy effect. As per the state based actions, it will be put into its owner's graveyard. This does trigger "Dying" effects. This is an important distinction as having 0 toughness is one of the ways to get rid of indestructible creatures.

Toughness, yes, Power, no. If a creature's Toughness ever goes to zero or below, it is put into the graveyard. However reducing a creature's Power to zero or below, will do nothing, apart from make it unable to deal damage.

They will always count the modified Power/Toughness, including the bonus or penalty from any counters or other external effects like Auras or Enchantments. I don't think any card looks at only the printed P/T on a creature in the Battlefield.
