Can I remove the 'Powered by Mybb' at the bottom or will I get in trouble.

Well, you can. But you will not receive support from the MyBB team. Why would you want to remove it...

If you're concerned about it being picked up by search engines and spammers using that to target you, then I suggest you make a transparent PNG with that text, and use the image in place of the actual text. That is one of the most basic security/anti-spam tactics out there.

i am also want to know how to remove forum version from the index footer

You need to make one...
Open up your site and use printscreen to grab an image of the screen that includes the powered by Mybb. Save this into an image using your favourite image editor (tip use paste so it appears on the canvas!). Then crop the image down till it consists of the just the footer powered by MyBB and save this as a transparent PNG.
Now upload the image to your site images folder. Now go to ACP ->templates and styles->templates->your theme->footer templates->footer
Locate:

<span id="copyright">

				<!-- End powered by -->
			</span>

And replace that with (leave the <span id="copyright"> at beginning and </span> at end though):

<a href="http://www.mybb.com"><img src="link to your image.png"/></a>

Hopefully I didn't miss a step

Well. This quickly turned into a site security thread...
