Is there a way to set a start date and deadline for a task in tfs?
And then in the board I want to see some colorful tasks.
For example I want to see the tasks that are out of date and have not been finished yet in red color and some others in green and so on...

You can also add a due date when you create a task.Add a task name, and then select Set due date to choose a date from a calendar.
In the User Story section, under the Fields tab, click on the + Field button under Additional fields. Select the Due date field from the drop-down menu.
For the Scrum TFS Process Template Task- Any work which is planned as part of development of your project, either as result of bug, or issue or requirements, including requirement analysis or development, or testing.
I'm assuming you are using Agile TFS template but this should apply to Scrum too(I think).
Agile template has Features, User Stories and Tasks in order of hierarchy. You an read more about them at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997897.aspx .
User Stories and Tasks do not have start date & deadline date since they are tied to a sprint and sprint start & end date are the start and deadline date for them.
Feature has a "Target Date" field because it is not tied to a sprint but that't not what you are looking for I guess.
If you absolutely need those fields then you can add custom fields in TFS.
