Why I can't translate «dad» as «отец», not as «папа»? I can translate «папа/отец» as «father/dad» in course of English for russians.

Отец is more official variant. We usually use it if we pray respect to father. This sentence is just usual and we say Папа - it sounds more kindly

When do we use a genitive form, (вечера, ночи), and when do we use an instrumental form (вечером, ночью) when describing when events happen?

Nibody would say 'после десяти (часов) вечера'! It is more than enough to mention 'десяти вечера' otherwise sound wierd and artificial.

why is it десяти and not десят I thought that numbers don't change forms when used as part of the whole (десят часов)
