Basically in the pack it says 100g of raw spaghetti has 356 calories, therefore if I cook 100g of spaghetti will the calories change? Due to the weight changing after it being cooked?

  Well I usually look at how many calories noodles have + sauce and any meat. I don't suppose the calories would change...depends on the brand.

  The weight change is only due to the water it absorbs, so no calories are added while the pasta is being cooked

  Water doesn't have calories - so unless you add something else it would be the same amount of calories when it is cooked as when it is raw.
