Syvia, Deadheading is easy: Just cut or clip off spent blooms. The reason is to stop the plant from directing its energy to making seeds in the old bloom. You want the plant to use its energy on new blooms.
As for planting in ground...yes and no. Pansies do well in ground—but in or out of ground, they thrive best when temps are from about 40°F at night to about 60°F during the day. That's why we see them so often in spring.
You can certainly bring them indoors but do not be disheartened when they eventually get leggy and then fade away. They just do. Can't be helped. Enjoy them while you have them!
