Jan 4, 2013 at 0:03 comment added Jim Humphreys @woodbass: The question seems well-intended but not carefully enough constructed (including the use of "multiplication" in the header when "multiplicative" is apparently intended). Selecting the right tags is also important. Anyway, you should be able to click on a check mark to accept an answer.
Jan 2, 2013 at 18:46 comment added woodbass Yes, nice answer.
Jan 2, 2013 at 18:26 comment added Emil Jeřábek Regarding your last edit, $hg$ is of the same form as $h$. These endomorphisms form a group.
Jan 2, 2013 at 18:21 comment added Emil Jeřábek The endomorphisms I mentioned are continuous. The other half of the story is that is every other endomorphism is neither Baire measurable nor Lebesgue measurable, and you need the axiom of choice to prove their existence, hence there is pretty much no way to describe them explicitly. Toink’s construction (with the proviso that elements of the basis can be mapped to arbitrary elements of $K$, and you have additionally a choice to map $−1$ to either $1$ or $−1$) describes all endomorphisms.

Jan 2, 2013 at 17:54 comment added woodbass any other form of example except Tonik's?
Jan 2, 2013 at 17:52 comment added woodbass Yeah. I should not have omitted these possibility.
Jan 2, 2013 at 17:34 comment added Emil Jeřábek To add to Toink’s answer, there are also simple explicit examples for Q3: consider $f(x)=|x|^r$ or $f(x)=\mathrm{sgn}(x)|x|^r$ for any $r\in\mathbb R$.
Jan 2, 2013 at 17:22 comment added Martin Brandenburg What do you mean by "multiplication homomorphism", perhaps just a homomorphism? And why the tag "algebraic groups"?
