There is usually a seam on the tyre wall, sometimes it is not very noticable but if it is a retread it will be there. Also look out for partially obscured (brand name) writing. EG. Firestone with the top missing is a dead give-away.

Somewhere on the sidewall of the tire there will be an arrow pointing in the intended rotation direction.
Somewhere on your vehicle, usually on the drivers door jam you will find a sticker with tire information on it. It will tell you what size tire and what psi is required for both front and rear tires and spare. This information should also be in the drivers manual.
To change an actual tire you need a tire machine to get it off the rim and the new one on. -If you mean the change the WHEEL and tire on a car, then you just need a jack and a tire wrench.
There's no specific mileage marker that can tell you when to change your tires. It will depend on how the individual drives....like for instance do you take of so fast you burn rubber? Or do you travel on hard rocky roads? Or live in snowy areas? For best answer to this consult the local tire store.
