Canon EOS 30D easy questions; digital rebel

I’m using my roommates camera to take some pics of architecture in the area. I have a tripod.

how do I set the camera to full manual? then how do i adjust the f stop?
how do I adjust the hand speed? what should I have it at, for taking pics on a day like today, with a tripod, of some stuff that wont move (houses). 1/60 second?

also, it has all these modes. daylight, etc. what should that be on, and how do I adjust it?

i cant find his manual
