Can you remove an outlet or hard wired fixture from a circuit for troubleshooting a GFCI I that won't reset?
Shut the GFCI off at the panel breaker. You can remove the down stream load right at the GFCI. Then reapply the power and keeping your fingers clear of the wire terminals, trip the GFCI and reset it. If it stays reset the trouble is down stream from the GFCI. To trouble shoot down stream remove all plugged in devices and try a reset. If still no reset remove the hot wire in the hard wired fixture and try for a reset. If still no reset buy a new GFCI.

My circuit breaker keeps popping I have replace the 2-prong outlet with a 4-outlets and why is it still popping?
A breaker trips when there is too much current. If you unplug everything on the circuit and the breaker still trips then you have a wiring problem or a bad breaker. From your description it is not possible to be certain if the problem started when you installed new outlet or previously. You have to describe your problem in better detail to get a good answer. When you have a circuit that trips the corresponding breaker, you need to go through each outlet on the circuit and rule it out as the problem. This can be done by pulling each outlet, from the wall and systematically remove wires from outlets while power is off and determining when problem goes away.
How do you fix an outlet that is not working if it works when it is taken apart but not when it is is put back in the box?
if this is a regular 110 plugin, just replace it. I suspect that you are either shorting out the wire when it is folded back into the box or the wire has been flexed too much and when folded back into the box is creating a disconnect. In either case, check the box for scorch marks, the wire for weak points or breaks in the insullation, *and* replace the receptical.
