I know this may sound dumb but here it goes:
How do I take a chunk out of the ground
For instance: a nuke falls from the sky and hits the ground, how would you make it that when it explodes it leaves a crater
How would I make that or is it imposible
Thanks

Place an actor with a hole in it.
For example if this is your ground:
You could add an actor where the bomb hits that looks like this:

And it would make the ground look like this:

would i do that with spawn actor?
And how would you delete the background behind the _/?
Yep, spawn the actor.
If you know the height of your ground, you spawn the actor at the same Y position.
As to the background behind the _/
Well, you would make that the same colour as the general background.
So you're essentially placing a 'fake' hole in the ground with a square actor.

It basically fakes the destruction like @quantumsheep describes, it's not perfect but not bad either.
This might be helpful too. One of my favorite examples:
Good old TSB wonder how he's doing?
