Im on the depo-provera shot n im spottin could i have sex while im spotting? n what would happen if i did?

Yes: The spotting is just a side effect from the shot. As long as you continue to get the Depo-Provera every 3 months, there is hardly any chance to get pregnant. You can have sex when you are spotting, other than maybe being a bit messier, it won't hurt you or your partner.
