ive woken up every morning for past 2 weeks, put tuner on my lips, and i can hit an A, perfectly, its scary how well i remember the tone, its just like the natural note that comes out my mouth when i hum,
See, I can do the same for E. I can belt out an E every time, but I play guitar. I can hum out a perfect E, A ,D, G , and B for tuning, but I'm a terrible singer. I've got the key right, but my breathing is way off. I find myself winded, and unable to pass off farther than an octave or two without loosing pitch.
As a musician of ten years, I can say without a shadow of a doubt. You've either got the pipes to sing, or you don't. Period. Training can help you utilize the keys, and octave (s) in your range accurately, but I've got an inability to raise my voice high enough the be legible half the time. I'm born in a family where absolutely everyone can sing in my extended family, but my father couldn't and nor can I. In fact, "I couldn't carry a note if it was strapped to my back" is more accurate.
Superchum has it down best though;

Best way to learn, go get a teacher
Your natural ability can only take you so far. Voice has been taught for many a centuries and that knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation to finally someone in your neighborhood. Go learn how to use your diaphragm, breathe and read. You can find some of these things on the interweb but none of these things on web pages or chat forums can give you constructive criticism or prescribe the right exercises for you.
In the end though, your personal vocal range is set in stone after puberty.
