Hello there.

Is there a way to put labels inside fields, like facebook.com where there is a sign up form, where the labels are inside the fields and when you start typing the label is gone?

Its like you can add an attribute to the field like this:

onfocus="if (this.value=='Name*') this.value='';"
onblur="if (this.value=='') this.value='Name*';"

in order to show the label of the field inside the field, while its empty

No, not without writing a new CB plugin to alter field output or modifying core code. You maybe able to force the new attributes using CB Auto Actions and a Code action with jQuery method on the registration form and profile edit display triggers using jQuery to add the new attributes (should be able to just add the placeholder attribute for modern browser support).
