Friends am new to drupal and creating a site that requires a calender and that I have added but by default it has highlighted the various dates when I added content and now I want to remove them and add my own event dates but am finding some hard time doing that.....Please some help!!

Use views
You can use views module for displaying the dates in calender .
for this,need to configure contextual filters for your content type "event" in views as per your requirement.

Events module
Thanks!!!!! Yes I used views as in the default calender view that comes when the calender module is installed but when I try to create an event it does not display on the date I have set the event for so does that mean I have to install the events module as well
I think what you're doing is
I think what you're doing is building a view on the "date created" field, rather than the custom field you added for event dates. Don't install the "events" module - not needed. That is an OLD Drupal 6 module and not up to date nor stable.
I did a recording showing all the steps to creating an events calendar- including setting up the modules, and using views.

Creating Events using the Calender module
Hello dmosh,
Install Views(http://drupal.org/project/views), Calender Module(http://drupal.org/project/calendar) and Event Module and its dependent module
Once you install Event Module, It will give you one default content type called as "Event".
Add one CCK date field in this content type with type date.
Then in views list (admin/build/views) you will see the default calender view just enable it.
Once you enable it filter it with "Event" content type. This calender will show you default result with node created date not on which date event is that so change it to your provided CCK date field from Arguments of views.
You can sort event using your provided CCK date field from sort criteria
