IMO there's no way that Iran "hacked into" the drone and landed it themselves. Just getting into the encrypted satellite signal in order to take the thing over would be a major task in itself. To then be able to control it without prior knowledge of the software and hardware being used to fly the aircraft would be a miracle. If Iran had prior knowledge to be able to do this then we have much bigger problems than losing the one drone to them.
I think the most likely scenario is that we lost communications with the drone and could no longer control it (whether or not it veered off course from Afghanistan or we were intentionally flying it in Iranian airspace is probably something we'll never know). There was probably some type of fail safe programmed into the drone that told it to land if it was out of communication for a period of time, fuel was running out, or some other set parameters were met.
I doubt Iran/Russia/China are going to learn as much from it as all the doom and gloom people are predicting as a lot of the secrets to creating the technology is in the manufacturing rather than the items themselves. I think the biggest gain for them militarily is they now have a real life example of what their radar and search equipment should be looking for so now they can more easily tune what they already have.
