My friend received Portuguese citizenship because his mother was born there, would that work in Greece?
My grandparents where born in Greece, can my father get Greek citizenship and pass that to me?

not to you, but it is most likely that he could get it

Your father could get it but you would have to try for your own in that country.. No one can pass you the citizenship..

The citizenship by decent only goes to one generation, that means ur father surely can get Greek citizenship, but he cannot pass it to you. However if your father gets the Greek citizenship by decent, you can surely apply for ancestry visa to Greece & live in Greece for 5 years to claim ur citizenship. Keep in mind to claim Greek Citizenship u must be speaking fluent Greek (that shouldn't be a problem for u because grand parents must be speaking Greek with u anyway). Good luck.
