How can I get deactivated redstone to turn on when I turn activated redstone off?
I have three piston in a line and I want the middle one to turn off when the two side piston turn on and vise versa. Does any one know how I can do this?

I think what you want is something like this.
The only caveat is that you can't have a block right above the torch, or it will burn out. You want your input to go into the back of the stone brick block.
I'm not sure if there is a more efficient way to do this, but this will work.
This works because when you apply redstone to a redstone torch, the torch turns off, this inverting the redstone state.

How do you turn Redstone on and off?
For the most instant and effective way of turning these off, you have to use a Lever. This requires one Stick and one Cobblestone to craft. After placing a Lever next to a Redstone Torch and then flipping it once, you can completely stop the flow of power in a circuit.How do you deactivate a Redstone block?
If a redstone torch is attached to a block of redstone, it deactivates after 1 redstone tick and does not reactivate (which is normal behavior for a redstone torch attached to a powered block). A block of redstone can be moved by a piston. Water and lava flow around a block of redstone without affecting it.How do you turn off a Redstone with a pressure plate?
You can power the block by running redstone signal into it (through powered redstone dust or repeater/comparator pointed into it) or by powering the block directly with a lever or a button. Similarly, attaching the torch to a redstone block will extinguish it immediately.FDTD Tutorials: How to turn a redstone torch off
