My friend can't dance but he can do a 084973553.
What can my friend do?
The First provides me with gadgets.
1=Q: provides Bond with gadgets in the film series. (From Zandar's answer)
The Second is seven doubled.
2=W: double 7 => double U (see below) => W
The Third is at the begin of endings.
3=E: the first Letter (the begin) of the word ending is e
The Fourth is difficult to differentiate in certain languages.
4=R: In Chinese and Japanese there is no distinction between the letters l and r (It's a little more complicated than that but lets stick with that)
The Fifth is in the start of every sentence.
5=T: Every sentence in the code tag starts with T
The Sixth is a question for lazy people.
6=Y: lazy people ask "why" they have to do something. (From Zandar's answer)
The Seventh is not I but.
7=U: Not I but You
The Eighth is me.
8=I: I am me
The Ninth is what you will say when you figure it out.
9=O: You will say Oh
The Tenth can also be before the first and sticks out its tongue.
10=0=P: As emoticon It sticks out the Tongue :-P. And 10=0 because it can also be before the first 0 < 1 (Edited with using Zandar's answer)
My friend can't dance but he can do a 084973553.
So he can do a Pirouette
The Tenth can also be before the first I reckon this refers to how the answer for 10 is immediately before the answer for 1 in the you-know-what.

Your friend can
pirouette.
The solution to the riddle is:
The First provides me with gadgets.
Q provides Bond with gadgets in the film series.
The Second is seven doubled.
Z looks like two 7s put together.
The Third is at the begin of endings.
E is the first letter of "endings".
The Fourth is difficult to differentiate in certain languages.
R is the same sound as L in some languages, such as Japanese.
The Fifth is in the start of every sentence.
T begins every sentence in this riddle.
The Sixth is a question for lazy people.
Y - lazy people ask "why" they have to do something.
The Seventh is not I but.
U - not I but "you".
The Eighth is me.
I am me.
The Ninth is what you will say when you figure it out.
O - when you figure something out, you say, "Oh."
The Tenth can also be before the first and sticks out its tongue.
P looks like a mouth with a tongue sticking out, as in the emoticon :P. Being before the first indicates that this should correspond with 0.
Then the code is:
Each number corresponds with the letter that is its answer (which happens to be that many letters into the first row of a QZERTY keyboard). Using this with the number 084973553 gives PIROUETTE.
