Polvo.
Do you say Estoy hecho or hecha polvo?
 And how do you say something like this in Spanish `You could´ve fooled me.´

If the subject is female, it's hecha. If it's male, hecho. If the subject is plural, like 'we', it's estamos hechos polvo.
You could've fooled me - ¡No me digas! ¿Sí? No me había dado cuenta. (con entonación apropriada) There are probably many other ways to say it.

Rusty's explanation is perfect, but I wanted to say hello.
Another translation for you could have fooled me is casi me lo trago. Nice to hear from you.
