Can a Nikon D3100 fire a strobe?

I have a Nikon D3100 and I'm planing to buy a strobe and I was wondering is the pop-up flash would do the trick here.

Of course.

Look on pages 172 to 175 of your user manual

If your 'strobe' can be set up to be a slave flash, then of course. If it does not have such a feature, then no.

Yes it will fire a strobe ON camera via the hotshoe connectors.

Yes it will fire a strobe OFF camera, if the strobe in question has an optical slave and you use the pop-up flash on low power to trigger it.

Yes it will fire a strobe OFF camera if you use radio trigger in the hotshoe (RF602's are good - £25) and put a receiver on the strobe.

A good manual strobe is the Yongnuo 560 (£60) - cheaper than a Nikon speedlight - I use them a lot with a Nikon D300.
