Does anyone have any ideas in how to achieve the effect of hitting the stop button on record deck using a DAW?

I hear this used on a lot of current chart/dance songs.

Also, how do you go about replicating scratch style effects using a DAW? i know these sound really mechanical and nothing like proper scratching, but hey, i'm just wondering.

Logic 9 Does it pretty well! In the properties box to the left of your audio, you can click "Fade" to turn that into "Slow Down." Then just set the time amount, and curve if u want.

In pt it can be done with vari fi.
With any daw that accepts vst's you can use Sugarbytes Artillery; this one can also work in PT using FX Pansion's vst2rtas wrapper.
It does exactly what you hear in pop records in the radio. Record stop, glitching the vocals and a lot of crazy shit.
