    I had an iPhone 3GS and once I upgraded to an iPhone 4,I gave the 3GS to my Mrs.The trouble is now every time she downloads an App,it shows up in my iTunes account and likewise anything I download comes up on the 3GS in the "Not on this iPhone" section.
    My question is,can I plug the 3GS into my laptop and restore it to factory settings so I won't be getting her updates anymore?

    I'd start by creating a new Appstore a/c for the wife. I'm assuming you are both using the same account ? Also, you can wipe the 3GS if you wish and set up as new iphone but should not be necessary AFAIK. See here for more info: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

    Will I need to wipe the phone from my account though?

    Nope. Go to Settings/store/signin/create new apple ID. This will then be presented to the other half when she attempts to download app in the future. All she will need to do is enter the password you are going to create now ;)

    settings/general/reset/reset all settings.

    Also be sure you are signed out off itunes and get your OH to enter her details or create account
