crossthreaded lugnut
i started to cross thread the one of my lug nuts onto the stud. Now it is messed up because i was not paying attention. Can I order a new stud and put it on?

Yea, just hammer the old one out!
If your there i would consider doing all the lugs on at least that hub!
Is it the front or rear wheel stud?
If its the front you need to pull apart the whole front hub assembly and take the rotor off to get to the studs. Now would also be a good time to replace or turn the rotors if needed.
There is a great writeup on 4x4wire i think. Search around for it. If you give me a few minutes i could probably post some pics when i had to do it.

heres a long story short! 
Well now its just a long story of pictures, for those who can't read, but can still use pictures to verify! 
okay after taking the hub off, you need a 54mm socket to take the hub assembly off (not sure if thats the real name, but thats what im calling it for now! )
Yum, nasty grease!
These bolts you see are what hold the rotor to the hub assembly
Take all those bolts out
There is the rotor off the hub assembly
Hub assembly with broken studs ^
Pound out the broken studs(i even included a picture of the hammer for those who can't read!
put new studs in and hammer those suckers in!
This is how i used the wheel to tighten those bolts! ^^ (btw, like the weights?)
Do as i say not as i do! if it is your time to turn or replace the rotors, then by all means, do it now. (i for one didn't have money, but those will do for a while longer).
I also re greased the front wheel bearing.
I also only replaced 4 of 6 wheel studs, all of them didn't need it imo, but while your there, if you do all of the above, then it should be hassle free for a while!
GOOD LUCK!

Just in case FYI, the Stud is 12mm with a 1.5 thread pitch. The bolts that hold the hub to the rotor are 14mm heads. Best way to get to bolts out is to wedg a very large pry bar in between the remaining studs to hold it in place. and at the same time use a 1/2in drive breaker bar (with 14mm socket) to remove the bolts on the back of the hub. When removed, use your 14mm 1/2in drive socket and a new wheel nut in order to pull the new stud flush into the hub. Also you should replace the grease seals on the hub. Most auto stores will have what you need, inluding the grease seals.
-Good luck
