Have not used this cards before. So I have a simple question about them. For example, I have Blex, Vexing Pest on hand. If I cast it as the creature, there's no way to use the other side anymore?

There is no way to transform it, correct. (Also, it looks like the other side is a sorcery, which would be unusable from the battlefield anyway.)
711.1. A double-faced card has a Magic card face on each side rather than a Magic card face on one side and a Magic card back on the other. There are two kinds of double-faced cards. Transforming double-faced cards include abilities on one or both of their faces that allow the card to “transform” (turn over to its other face) or allow the card to enter the battlefield “transformed” (with its back face up). Modal double-faced cards have two faces that are independent from one another and can’t transform.
Of course, if you remove it from the battlefield (e.g., to your hand), it won't remember which face was up and casting would require a fresh decision of which face to cast.
711.7. If a transforming double-faced card is cast as a spell, it’s put on the stack with its front face up. A player casting a modal double-faced card as a spell chooses which face they are casting before putting it onto the stack. See rule 601, “Casting Spells.”
