I have developed Android Application and even I installed into the Devices. But how to prevent the application/apk not to uninstall by the others/user of the Device.

You CAN'T.
Until your application is a part of Framework, user of your application can uninstall the app and this is right of user.
Although you can track the uninstallation of app by implementing Device Admin API

Is there a way to hide all apps installed on the device and make only one app available to the user? In a way that the app automatically starts as soon as the screen is unlocked?
What I basically want to do is to have a device that's dedicated to the use of a single app. Can this somehow be accomplished? What options are available?
Since this app won't be distributed through google play or any other official channel, any even undocumented hacks would be an option. Any advise is welcome.
The only way that I think this can be implemented is by creating an custom launcher and include your app inside that launcher.

I want to know that when an user updates an app from Google playstore, Is there any way to go back to the older version of that app ?
No, once you launch the apk on Play Store whether or not it's accepted by Google you must upload a higher version or change the app configuration, I mean package name.

I have requirement in my Project i.e prevent application uninstall using password.is it possible, if yes could you suggest how it is.
May this Help you
I think the closest thing to what your looking for is the Device Administration feature introduced in 2.2.
Once the application is registered as a Device Administrator, it can't be uninstalled unless its unregistered. This will prevent the app from being uninstalled.
While the Device Admin API doesn't allow for password protection of this particular feature, you can password protect your application to prevent someone from tampering with the Device Admin features in the app.
OR:
You can make your application as System Application.. But for that you need to Root your Device first....
No, this is not possible on Android for security reasons.

Yes go into the android market publisher page.
Make sure your app is uploaded.
Click on your app name.
Scroll down to where it says 'Show devices'.
Click that and you can exlude all mobile phones from downloading your
app.
Failing that you can set some parameters in your manifest for screen size etc, but this is less reliable.
