It was heartening to see Raam Gopal Verma taking interest in Hindu scriptures and post his queries regarding Shree Ganesh on Twitter. Though many seemed agitated on RGV's choice of words, lets give him benefit of doubt and answer the questions, one by one.

RGV : The guy who couldn't save his own head from being cut , how he will save others heads is my question? But Happy Ganpathi day to morons!
Answer : Not fair RGV Saar. Not fair! How can you give your wishes on Ganesh Chaturthi only to those belonging to your tribe! Afterall we live in a secular Nation. Anyway, I'll still answer your question. Going by yourwords its seems your idea about God 'almighty' is a being that is Immortal and Invincible. Though I wouldnt disagree, there is an extention to this idea that you seem to have missed.

Limiting God in the word 'Immortal' seems a bit immature. Immortality is an idea about those for whom a form is their limited identity, which if once destroyed can not be recovered by itself. Hence immortality is to prserve that form or even the formless identity forever. But what if one gain control over its own and other's life and death and rebirths...what if death is only a line that it can draw whenever and where ever it wishes to on the infinite playground of space, time and dimentions? Jumping from one side to the other like a game seems like fun, no? This fun can be loosely equated to sanskrit word 'leela' (लीला).
Since you are a movie maker, let me put it in way that you can relate to. If in your movie an actor dies, does he die in real life too? No, right? Also, theres always a lesson to every story. This 'leela' too is similar to a movie.

Shri Ganesh by means of this leela teaches us the kind of respect one must hold for her/his Mother, resolve and bravery. Shiva through the same leela teaches us ill effects of allowing our anger to take control over our sense.
The Elephant's head was chosen to free Airavat (Indra's Elephant) of a curse due to which it had to be born as a mortal.
Also, Elephant's head has hidden symbolism - large eara to listen to the prayers of his devotees. You may google for rest.
