Well, I don't think the question is *very* clear. I think you should make it more clear by editing in what exactly you want to know about that, and why it may be important.

Great! Next time just edit it to make it look like it was the initial version, without "edited" or "updated", that's just unnecessary as you can always [see each revision in post history](http://anime.stackexchange.com/posts/29980/revisions).

Try to ask one question per post. I see at least 2 questions here: "What Dende or Kami must do as the guardian of earth?" and "Do they have to be from Namek?". I think I can pick out one or two more distinct questions from your list.

@MasBagol: To make sure that you get satisfactory answer for your questions, it's best to split them up into multiple questions, if they are not closely related. Otherwise, people will just post an answer to one of those questions without addressing others. For example, "do they have to be from Namek?" worth its own question and should be post separately.

As is mentioned on the [wikia](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian) site,

> Guardian (神様, Kami-sama; lit. "God") is the title given to the individual protectors of planets in the Dragon Ball series.
>
> Despite their names, the Guardians' role is closer to that of an overseer.

As the Guardian of Earth (I will be using GE as an abbreviation), Kami or Dende have to protect the human beings from evil. A few examples being

* Kami training Goku during the Piccolo Jr. Saga.
* Kami training the other Z Warriors during the Saiyan Saga.
* > Kami and Mr. Popo spreading the Sacred Water throughout the entire world using the Seven Air Currents located inside Kami's Lookout in order to cure the Earthlings from the effects of Garlic Jr.'s Black Water Mist.

To expand a bit more on their job,

> Guardians have an indirect reporting relationship to one of the Kais (in the case of the Guardian of Earth, this is King Kai).
>
> Another way of looking at this is that Guardians are more supervisors than they are managers.
>

This concludes the tasks of the GE.

Now to answer your other questions,

* The GE doesn't necessarily have to be from Namek. The reference being that
  + Kami was the first Namekian GE.
  + Kami asks Goku to replace him as the GE after the World Martial Arts Tournament in Piccolo Jr. Saga.
* As the GE doesn't have to be Namekian, they don't have to create the dragon balls.
* They do grant human wishes if they are appropriate. An example being when he gave a new life to Shenron on Goku's demand after he was destroyed by King Piccolo.

I believe this answers all your questions...
