phpbb is free you can also get free ipb or the best in my opinoin is vbulletien those three are mainly used just serach on google.

i'm doing a project on creating my own forum. are those pre-set codes or do i still have to learn some coding ?

You don't need to be a programmer to set up a forum. You just need to know how to install web-based software (but don't worry, it comes with instructions.)

oh . i need to learn and understand the code on how to create a forum

If your web host is providing you with cpanel then you may be able to install a forum from there since it is automated. But if they dont the all you need to do is download the type of board you want to use then just follow the instructions. It isn't all so difficult. It is basically editing the config file. and changing permissions for files on the server.

Well good luck.

Can I get any free webspace and domain to setup an online forum?

You can get free space to host your forumn (not recommented) but you will need to pay atleast for domain
