If I have an iframe loading a website from a different server, like bing.com, can I manipulate or retrieve the code from that iframe?
If not, I can do a curl request and create the iframe from that and then manipulate it, right?

In javascript you can’t access the contents of an iframe if that site resides on a different domain than the one you are loading the iframe from. You can proxy the page load by having a PHP scrip that “curls” the request. There is a lot more involved than that though to cleanly proxy another site.
