You install sofware via the package manager, which is apt-get, aptitude or synaptic. They're all different interfaces to the same program (apt); there's also a GUI frontend but I don't know how to access it.

I'm going to assume you are using Ubuntu 9.10 as that's the current stable version. If you want to install software, you can use either the Ubuntu Software Center located under the Applications menu or you can use the Synaptic Package Manger which is under System->Administration. Synaptic is much more complex and can be daunting for noobs, but it is much more powerful than the Software Center. The Software Center is nice for one click installs.
As for drivers, most of your hardware should already be configured and ready to use. There are a few exceptions, such as video cards which sometimes need proprietary drivers. You can usually install them using the "Hardware Drivers" application under System->Administration.

BTW, there are forums in which such questions would be more appropriate than here: http://ubuntuforums.org/
