I went to my local BBY today to see if they had the iPhone 5 they only had the 64gb and in black so i got it....but when it goes to sleep it goes to LTE even when on wifi. is there a way to keep it on wifi?

No, wifi turns off while sleeping to save battery.

No

Nope.
It does that to save battery. When you're not using it wifi turns off.
Leave it plugged in the charger and it might retain the connection longer even when it goes to sleep.

Persistent wifi only works if it's plugged in to a power source (even if the status says otherwise).
