Go to a local library, or a church library, and borrow Kent Hovind's DVD [or VHS] on Dinosaurs. It's called "Dinosaurs and The Bible," by Kent Hovind. Kent Hovind is a Creationist, a highschool science teacher, and has been going around the country (and to other countries) teaching about creation, evoloution, and dinosaurs.
I believe the dinosaurs were created on the sixth day of Creation; according to God's Word.
Genesis 1:23-25, NIV "And there was evening, and there was morning - the fifth day. And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good."
So, what I believe is that on the sixth day, God made the livestock, creatures that move along the ground [probably bugs, lizards etc.], and wild animals. Dinosaurs are wild animals.
Where did they come from? God. God put them here.
When did they live? From creation until, at least, the late ninties. I believe the "Loch Ness Monster" is a dinosaur. S/he is a water-dwelling dinosaur. I think there are still dinosaurs alive. Probably not nearly as big as they were once, but still dinosaurs. In Africa, there is a swamp [I don't know it's name...Sorry] which hasn't been ocmpletely explored. The natives there are afraid to go into the swamp because there is a "monster" that lives there. Scientists have gone through there, and have written articles for magazines such as National Geographic about this "monster" who lives in the swamp. This monster appears to be a dinosaur.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I'm not an expert, by any means, but I will try to help.
Ken Ham is also a great teacher, though I prefer Kent Hovind... Ken Ham is also very well educated.

EDIT : Ok, I read your feedback. Thank you. :) I believe that Noah took dinosaurs on the ark; because the Bible says that he was to take two of each kind, those with the breath of life in their nostrils. Noah probably took babies [or "teenagers" - very young adults] because they would need to reproduce a lot. He probably took two of each basic kind, the meat-eaters, long-necks, herbavores, etc. All the other dinosaurs would have been wiped out, yes.
