The time() function returns the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970:

From that you can deduce the time and date.

Graphics? That's a can of worms, right there. At least you have some choices:
Win32: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/
OpenGl: http://www.glprogramming.com/red/
... And many more, but I don't use them, so I don't have any links.
