The camera only stamps the date on the pictures when in postcard mode. When in any of the bigger image modes it won't deface your photos by scrawling a string of numbers across them. However the date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every image in its EXIF data. If you want this printed, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your photos. Depending on the program and printer, you may print this information on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

The actual switch to lock the memory card is inside the camera and not on the card. If the switch inside the camera is damaged, the camera will think every card you use is locked. It might be fixable, but you might have to replace the mainboard of the camera. A good used board is probably available for $25 or so, plus $30 to install.

Hope this helps!

Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct it.
