No, not at this time.

2. How often do Mirror Buckets refresh or update images? For example, if a user uploads a new signature that overwrites the old one, will it be updated?

If a user uploads a signature, the signature resides in the database, so that is not a CDN issue. The CDN does not work for PHP files that access the database. If you are talking about images in the signature, I think you will find that new signatures, like avatars, get a new (version) number appended in the name of the gif.

3. How do you recommend using the no-cache header linking options for your buckets?

We cache all our image and client content to the maximum number of days. This is configurable in the CDN admin panel. This overrides the no-cache header information in your files, as I recall; I suggest you open a ticket with SimpleCDN and ask them questions about how they deal with headers, cache, etc. That way you get the info directly from them.
