First of all, be careful. I don't know if hotwire is the right word to use. There is actually an interface you can purchase that will allow you to connect a generator to your home and run it off of that. If you are talking about stealing electricity, you are seriously out of luck here.

If you want to power your house during a power failure. Buy a transfer switch that will take your house completely off of the grid. If you back feed a panel and the voltage gets into the grid. You can KILL a lineman. You will be held liable for any damage you cause. Lawyers will be on your steps for years. The safe way without a switch. Is to use cords and only run what you need.

What to do with the white wire in track light with black green and white wires if the house does not have a white one?

The white is neutral. The house does have a neutral wire even though it may be black. One of those black wires is the neutral and the other is the hot wire. You will have to determine which is hot and which is neutral. You can easily do this with a voltage tester. The wire that lights the tester is the hot. When you wire the light simply wire the hot to hot, and the white and green to the other wire.
