Where cron file for user and for root is saved after executing
crontab -e
and saving data?
/var/spool/cron/username
Use su to access the file.
Each user can have their own crontab, and these files are in /var.

Is it possible to add a cronjob without using the crontab command? (Or anything else except editing files directly.) Is there a file I need to edit?
You can directly edit the following files:
/etc/crontab
/etc/cron.d/*
/etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/*
These are system-wide files. In these files you must specify a username before the command to be executed.
In contrast, per-user crontabs are stored here:
/var/spool/cron/<username>

What desktop environment are you using?
Using GNOME:
gnome-screensaver-command -l
Using KDE:
qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock
Using xfce:
xflock4
if you have xscreensaver installer this will work:
xscreensaver -lock
Other then that it is depending on which DE you have.

I'm confused with setting variables in /etc/env.d directory. When I write echo $PATH from user - it's print me all variables that set it myself. But from root I see one... Where should I set variables for root?
You should set ROOTPATH instead of PATH in your /etc/env.d/* files.

I have a question.
I have partition for home with directory "abc". So /home/abc
If I will reinstall Ubuntu and create the same user "abc" my data will be OK? Will this folder be cleared and created again?

Thanks #bobince, if it is a SEPARATE partition, no problem. If you are trying to install over that partition it is going to get wiped.
