just have a few questions concerning selling games/programs/3d models over the internet, and am wondering if anyone can help me out. Im in the UK if that bears any significance.

It doesn't really matter where you live.
I use shareit.com. They take care of everything regarding the sales process. All i need to do is ship the user their software. They can also handle VAT on your behalf, if you require.

Would it be legal to make a game or program, pop a demo onto my website for people to download, and then say if they want the full version, send, say £5 cash, to me, and then I would send them the full game?
"
yeah that's legal. You would need to ensure that all of the work is completely within your ownership though. So if your using somebody elses Media say, you'd need to check that's legal with them, in order to sell it as part of your package. No dramas, if you've created the media yourself.

Would I need to register a company or anything like that? The game/program would have to be made with perfectly legit. programs in order for me to be allowed to sell it, right?
"
You don't need to register as company. Most people work as a sole traders (like myself). If your thinking about selling other peoples programs, before you do it, make sure you obtain their permission.
Many online traders offer affiliate programs. Even Dark Basic Pro is available under this system. Basically it means you could set up a shop front on your site, then sell DBpro (refer) and collect some commission. The Game Creators still ship and handle the order, you just the referred the buyer.

Additionally, would it be legal to make 3d models for people on request, and then charge them for it?

Of course...
