Is there any way to do the same with this? if not would i just have to record the sound separately to get it in good quality? and do you know any good software for picture and video editing that wont brake the bank? sorry for all the questions

Unfortunalty, video is still relatively new to DSLR's and sound quality is still lagging even for the high end models. Most cinematographers go with DSLR video set-ups because the camera & high end lens quality are alot less expensive than having a dedicated cinema quality video camera. You would need an external recorder and sync up the sound in post if you want really good sound quality. I don't do a whole lot of video.
For Video:
Mac: Final Cut express ($200) is reasonable but still kind of expensive. iMovie is fine if you just want to play around.
I'm not familiar with affordable video editing software with PC's. I've only used Adobe After Effects.
Image Editing:
Mac: Aperture ($200)
PC: Adobe Elements ($80) or Adobe Lightroom ($300)
This hobby can get really expensive, real fast.
