1st- I have two 250gb ssd in raid 0 so when i start windows it brings me to the raid thing (i need to click something for it to stay) can i go back to the bios and put something else for SATA so it doesn't keep popping up?

2nd-will the Samsung drivers still work with it in raid 0?

When in raid mode you will always get that on startup, its how you would add/remove/make changes to the raid arrays. When it goes right into the raid bios on startup - then you have a much bigger problem.

Going to ahci in the motherbd bios (ie change the sata ports from raid to ahci) will break the raid and you will need to reinstall everything because the drives are now working individually instead of as a team.

Who put them in raid0 ?
If this is a new install and the drives are empty then you can change the sata port types to ahci which will then treat the drives as individual drives (ie - you will have C: and D: SSD drives)

If this was part of an exisiting install and its going to the raid screen when you boot up then its likely the raid0 array has failed. Since you seem to have no experience with raids I would suggest you contact whoever set this up to find out & possible 'fix' the problem. I also hope you have any important data backed up externally as anything on the raid0 may be lost and not recoverable.
