Which softwares i can install by wine,and how to install wine it self

Read here for lots of information about Wine:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

To install the Wine version that is included in Ubuntu, you install it
like every other application that is included in Ubuntu: go to menu
Applications, then click "Add/Remove ...". In the menu on top right of
Add/Remove, choose "All Open Source applications" [1]. Then type "wine"
into the search box. It will find "Wine Windows emulator", just check
the box.

Codeweaver's Crossover is a commercial variant of Wine (costs money).
They have a great compatibility database and guarantee that their
version of Wine works for particular applications. They also include an
easy tool for setup.

See here for general Crossover info:
