A YouTube video would be hosted in something like an EMBED or OBJECT tag. WebDriver can locate these tags inside the DOM. It would be able to tell you the size and position of the object but not much beyond that. If you have a tool/library which can manipulate the YouTube video, you could pass the size and position using WebDriver but a third party tool/library would be needed.

Not sure what you are looking for when you talk about dynamically changing text. If you mean you want a different text string on every run of an automation suite then you should look into the system time. In Java I would use the System.currentTimeMillis() to get the current time. Usually at the start of a test I would get the current time, print it to a log then use it for various strings, e.g.

    String timestamp = new String(System.currentTimeMillis());

    String username = "Username-" + timestamp;

Thanks darrel for giving such valuable information about this.

 please have a look on registration page of the www.jobtardis.in website. In that security code will be changed dynamically. How to automate that?.

That looks like a CAPTCHA image. They CANNOT be automated since the whole purpose of introducing CAPTCHAs is to prevent automation. 

You may have to work with your development to get a test value that you can use or have them disable it in your test environments.

If it is a captcha then you might want to search this google group for "captcha". This topic has been discussed before. Reading the old messages will still be relevent.
