You should first convert to mesh. Go to object edit mode, Go Build>Convert to mesh. Now you can select/move/add points. Answers of this kinds questions can also be found in the manual.
-
yes but what if it is already converted to mesh?!!!
-
The cube primitive in your screen shot is not yet a mesh. If it had been converted to a mesh, the points would appear at all vertices in the wireframe view even without selecting them. Remember that you can't convert to mesh in Object/Point Edit mode; you must select the object in Object/Edit mode and click Build > Convert to Mesh.

that was easy thanks,
hope they revise their tutorial.

Maybe a similar problem, I create color. I select the mesh, I choose a color, I click apply and no color.

Similar problem, yes, but a bit different. If you want the entire surface of your mesh to be the same color, you can simply select the object in Object/Edit mode and click apply. However, in Object/Point Edit mode, you need to remember that color is applied to faces, not edges or points. This give you the ability to make different faces different colors. But you won't be able to actually see the color until you switch wireframe view OFF (i.e., to Flat or Smooth shaded).
By the way, I'll reiterate what's already been said --- this information is covered in the manual! It's a great resource, but only if you read it.
