Hi I'm new with stm32, I bought an stm32f0discovery but I can't work with it I wanna get help or some tutorial please.

Why can't you 'work with it'? Where are you stuck? What have you tried?

For basic getting-started tips, see:

Please don't put the entire question in the subject line!

Maybe we should have FAQ page since many questions are asked again and again without searching the site (not sure if the searching works fine now  - it works at least for me). The basic stuff:

-how to start

-where the training materials are stored

-some basic projects e.g LED blinking (*.ioc based projects) - not everybody find ST delivered examples interesting when he/she would like to start  - these examples have no ioc files what is particularly important when you want to use BSP (I shared several project for a few Discovery boards)

-etc

Your post is really good to be re-used here....

and there's the fundamental flaw: people who don't search won't find the FAQ.

I guess it would help people like you - instead of writing time consuming posts you would just add a link to the FAQ:)

On the other hand we all could update such FAQ to have shared (and updated) knowledge base. In theory.

Could I use arduino modules such as esp8266 for wifi or sdcard module ?

Yes, it is certainly possible.

Whether you, specifically, have the necessary skills and experience is less certain ...

Generally you can use arduino shields. CAre should be taken if a particular modules uses 5V logic  - e.g. arduino shield with LCD 48x84 display has also joystick on board and uses analog pin  - so in this case a divider would be helpful to avoid connecting 5V input directly.

The conclusion is: it's worth studying the schematic earlier. It is always worth to check voltage - STM32 is definitely 3.3V powered devices - It has 5V available to power other stuff but uses 3.3V and not all pins are 5V tolerant.
