To get coal in minecraft you will need a pickaxe. The pickaxe can be made of wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingots, gold ingots or diamond gems. You craft it by doing 2 sticks up the middle and 3 of whatever material along the top row in a 3x3 grid (right click a crafting table). Coal is obtained by destroying coal ore - it is stone with black markings in it. Destroy with the pickaxe to get the coal. You can then make torches with it or use it as a furnace fuel.

You can find coal veins almost anywhere. Look at the side of stone cliff faces.
Coal can't be turned back into coal ore once it is mined. Since there is no enchanting in Minecraft PE, there is no way to obtain coal blocks in survival.

There are no flares in Minecraft. If you mean torches, you put a stick and a piece of coal in a crafting grid. The coal goes on top of the stick.
