She cannot ask for green card for me I am now in the United States, on B2, but I cannot work, live and study. I do not live for my grand-mother’s money.

You cannot get a green card through your grandmother. You also cannot work in the US in B-2 status. You can stay for as long as you are permitted to do so under your I-94. If you want to try to extend it for another 6 months, you can try to do that and if your reasons are good enough, your request may be approved.

You need to see if you can get EAD through an employer; and also check is you qualify for citizenship.

Your grandma cannot petition for you as a relative.
