My cpu cooler draws air too the cpu.

Wich way am i supposed to put the rear case fan? should it blow air too it or should it draw air from it? I am a noob to cooling :S

The rear case fan should be set up for exhaust.

Have the CPU cooler blow air through the heatsink toward the rear fan.

Is it a good idea too put a fan at the side of the case that blows air right at the cpu fan?

Front, side are intake, back/top are exhaust. CPU cooler should be mounted in an east-west orientation, airflow going from front to back.
