Is it possible to use jQuery/Javascript to see if a webpages source code is altered by a visitor and if so redirect them?
And by altered, I mean if they open firebug or something and edit anything on the page once its finished loading?

This seems like a hack to prevent people from messing with your forms.
This is most definitely not the right way to make your site more secure; security must always come from the server-side or, if everything is done via the front-end, in a way that can only hurt the user who is currently signed in.
Even if you did succeed in implementing this using JavaScript, the first thing I would do is disable exactly that 🙂 or just disable JavaScript, use
wget, inspect the code first, then write acurlwork-around, etc.
