Is Goldbach's Conjecture true?

Perhaps. Computers have shown that it is true for some pretty large numbers, but you need to remember that there are an infinite number more out there. It hasn't been proved true yet, nor has there been a counterexample. Of course, theoretically the conjecture could be true, yet unprovable (see Godel's Incompleteness Theorem)

What is a conjecture about the number of factors for square numbers up to 1000?

One possible conjecture is that each square number up to 1000 has 4 factors. The conjecture is manifestly false, but it is still a conjecture.
