I have installed LinuxCNC and use it to run my VMC, but i now i need to know how to perform basic tasks like changing the date,time and installing apps like HeeksCAD and a calculator. which is the best way to learn this stuff?

Look for synaptic package manager. It will know about most standard programs but to use something like heekscad you are jumping in a lot deeper to get it installed but their git seems to have the instructions step by step.

To change system settings (rather than user settings) you typically have to use the "sudo" command to temporarily use admin privileges.
sudo date --set="22 MAY 2017 15:32:00"
