Did I say anything something wrong? Why did he become so rude impolite?
I was studied studying English on Livemocha just now, I and received a chatting request. It His profile showed that he was learning Japanese and his mother toungue was English.
We said hello to each other. He said later wrote Japanese to me. and I responded :" that I am not a Japanese ,I feel sorry and that I replied that I cannot help him. can't help you."he said :"fuck". All he replied was a "fuck".
Oh my God!, Did I say something wrong? Why did he become so rude impolite?
Best reason is that you are of no use to him. From what you wrote, you are guilty of the same reason too. You looked up his profile to see if he is of use to you. When someone requests a chat with me, if I am free, I shall chat with the person. I do not look up their profile first! To me this is racial/benefit profiling. After all, a chat request in a language site is to hope to learn something from a native speaker or just trolling for some illicit encounter.

I'm sorry but I disagree with both of you. Using the word "fuck", even to express frustration is absolutely inconsiderate. One should know better. Especially in a situation where it is so easy to misunderstand. It would even be rude to a native speaker if they were not acquainted with him. Some people would use "Shit!" to express their frustration but would at least have the common courtesy to apologize for the crassness.
So, no, you didn't say anything wrong. The guy was just being extremely rude and disrespectful.

Sometimes the word 'fuck' is just used to express annoyance or frustration. In this context it was probably not intended to cause any offence to you.
