I'm a little confused as to how it works. It says :
The wearer of this ring can make a melee touch attack against an undead creature no more than one size category larger than himself, cutting off that creature from undying energy.
Does this mean all of my Melee attacks are now considered touch attacks against undead creatures?
And if that's the case does that mean I can no longer use power attack on Undead creatures because power attack "The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage."?

"Can" make a melee touch attack, not must. And it would be as a standard action, so no full attack.
Activation: A ring's ability is usually activated by a spoken command word (a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity) or its effects work continually. Some rings have unusual activations, as mentioned in the ring's specific description.

Description
The wearer of this ring can make a melee touch attack against an undead creature no more than one size category larger than himself, cutting off that creature from undying energy. The wearer never suffers any ill effects that might normally occur from coming into physical contact with an undead creature touched in this way. On a successful hit, the undead cannot be healed or aided by the effects of negative energy for 1d4 rounds. During this duration, positive energy affects the undead creature normally.
Construction Requirements
Forge Ring, sculpt corpse; Cost 1,000 gp.
The bolded section is the effect. The first, unbolded text is what you have to do to get the effect to happen to the undead, and the added bit that says this Melee touch attack doesn't cause you to lose stats or whatever would normally happen when you touch an undead.
