Change "add to cart" button to Pre Order when out of stock?

No it is not, just has the add to cart like any other item and is able to be added.

this item for example I have set to zero stock

Well, if so it's not really impossible, but you may need to change the code a bit to make that appear.

The file you want to look into is: includes/modules/pages/product_info/header_php.php

Not that I know how to edit php but this file would control the product status in the cart or the email or both?

The display of the product info page.

Or if not that then add the backorder status to the order confirmation so that there is proof the customer was shown the status at some point in the order creation
