Number one is not an insect, but a millipede - they have two pairs of legs for every body segment. They are scavengers on decomposing organic matter.

There are tiny spiders similar to number two in several families; my best guess is that yours might be in the family Dictynidae (mesh spiders) - see http://tinyurl.com/2fojwy5 for an example (this is not a Pakistan species).

Number three could be in the family Pholcidae (cellar spiders); they are characterized by having very long legs in proportion to their body size.

Number four is a jumping spider (family Salticidae) - see http://tinyurl.com/2dp3ymx for another example. These spiders are active hunters that do nor spin a capture web, relying on their excellent (for spiders) eyesight to detect prey.
