Hi,
I have a front-page template where I want to programmaticaly access and
filter cck entries of type "event" (defined by me), get those results and check all of them which are tagged "public" and write them.

Answer : Drupal : Programmatically query CCK and tags

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do.
Listing content by tags or other data is clearly work for Views.
If you want to alter the content somehow, take a look at "Views bulk operations", which helps you "do things" to the nodes listed by a view.

If you really need to access CCK data in code then I suggest you read this blog:
http://www.drewish.com/content/2010/06/correctly_accessing_cck_fields_in_sql_queries
which will give you some info on "doing it right" and an example.
