Meaby just start here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/how_to/building_a_simple_news_site.html

and after building a simple application come with some more detailed (specific) questions, dont wonder why they downvoted You, people here dont like such major questions like:

Yes, you can do this in templates using the bulit-in query module. Please have a look here at the official documentation:

If you are interested in add-on development, the database class section of the documentation has a lot of good information on the matter:
