Why is iTunes asking for security questions?

Hello Loopdog,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Apple uses security questions to provide you with a secondary method to identify yourself online or when contacting Apple Support.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
Apple ID: Security and your Apple ID

Best of luck,

Why am i asked for security questions when i never filled any out when registering my device

When i now try to purchase something from itunes store i am asked to answer security questions for which i never gave answers to when registering my device

You should have been asked to set them when you created your iTunes account (unless the account was created prior to them being introduced), not when registering a device to your account.
Are you able to set them, or reset them via the Password & Security section on your account on http://appleid.apple.com ? You won't be able to reset them if you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account.
If you can't set/reset them then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

It's a security feature that was brought in a few months ago - when you try to purchase something for the first time on a new computer or device then you will be asked for the answers to your questions (or to set them up if you haven't yet created them).

Itunes is asking fo security questions to be answered that I don't seem to know the answers to. Need help fixing this problem.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
