I am not sure whether this is righ way to ask question but I have one doubt in my mind:
As in my knowledge, everything for SharePoint is a database and whatever files and folders , it uses, it transferes and saves them in SQL Server for its own reference. Now onwards if user click on the link then link opens a file then SharePoint must be Pointing to that reference file which it has in SQL Server.
Now, if my understanding is right then we have two copies of the same file:
1. The very original file.
2. Its SharePoint version stored in SQLServer.
My question is that how can I make sure that if user makes any changes in the file using Sharepoint and those changes are reflected in SQLServer THEN the same changes are reflected in the original location as well.
Well, I have not developed any applicaiton SharePoint yet, so may be my concepts are not clear but please guide me if my conclusions are wrong.

Just to rephrase and be sure what MsShadow mentioned is clear.
Sharepoint stores almost no files in the filesystem. Essentially it only has some core files used globally throughout Sharepoint.
All content managed by users goes directly into the content databases and never touches the file system. There is NO duplicates.

You are seeing it completely wrong :)
I could type it here, but there is an excellent post on how pages are rendered from SharePoint.
In short, there is a template on the filesystem and the rest is stored in the db. If you make changes to the template part of a page, a copy is stored in the database with the modified version of that page
