I don't have minecraft full version on my PC so I can't get computercraft, yet I write my programs on notepad and wait till I get the full version. Until then, Is there any type of downloadable software that would allow me to write my code in it and run it without mine or computercraft?

I'm pretty sure no. The best thing I can think to do is to make your program run your own API for all the apis available and have it do something that an interpreter can do.

CCDesk is good for testing basic programs outside of Minecraft, it is unable to do anything Turtle related though (may change in the future). However if you wished to test outside of anything that even remotely is ComputerCraft there are a few websites out there that allow you to test Lua code, however they will all tell you that you've got problems when you get to most of these API calls.

As stated above CCDesk is a program that can help. Another one is CCEmu, which I use. It (also) doesn't allow any turtle related things, except rednet handshakes. But you can run multiple computers at once, and even choose the monitor size.
