As the title says, I'm planning on getting an ASRock N68C-S UCC board. It has unlock CPU core technology but would I need to have Black Edition processor in order to make use of that feature?

A Black edition allows you to overclock by just changing the multiplier. You don't need a Black edition to unlock cores.

No, you just need the right motherboard is all. My computer, which uses an AMD Athlon X2 CPU, can be overclocked with Windows software without rebooting, in no small part because I have an Asus M2N-E motherboard.
There's newer issues of this motherboard that will handle newer Athlon CPUs, but try searching the net for "motherboard for overclocking" and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.
