Couple things, I'm not entirely sure about that first sentence, but the i3's are listed as supported CPUs for that board. You can see the entire list here: http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_M...
In particular, your CPU - the i3 530 - is supported as of the F6 BIOS.
Also, it sounds like you are asking if it is a problem that the task manager "shows 4 cores". No, that's what it is supposed to show. Task manager will display the number of threads your computer can run. Your i3 530 is a dual core capable of HyperThreading (i.e., each core can run 2 threads), so task manager shows 4 "cores". I have an i7 860 which is a quad core capable of HyperThreading, so task manager shows 8 "cores" - i.e. 8 threads.
