Install all in one seo plugin and it will help you these things... For changing url check your permalinks... You will have to remove date from there...

Try Custom structure: - /%postname%

Just go to

Code:

http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php

and pick custom structure and put

Code:

/%postname%

over there.

For meta tags, description and keywords... You can add them when creating post or editing them... Just scroll down and you will see these options...

I would suggest keeping the date in your URL. i have noticed traffic increasing when doing this. This permalink structure works well for me

/%day%/%monthnum%/%category%/%postname%/
