As for the chocolate, just like First Lady said just cut down the amount of sugar you are using. And for the butter and margarine there is very little diffrence.

There is a HUGE difference in butter and margarine. You can substitute margarine for some recipes but it will depend on what kind of margarine. If you get the whipped margarine, or the diet kind, that has lots of water in it, your birthday cake is gonna be dry and crumbly.

And some types of recipes, just dont substitute period. Like shortbread cookies, fruit cakes etc. There will be a substantial difference in both the taste and the end result of the final baked product.
