1) I replace water every 3 days, or immediately if there's poop or substrate in it. Ceramic dishes can go longer if they must, but if the dish is plastic you should clean it often as they get scummy quite fast.

2) If the tap water is good for you to drink and doesn't come with any warnings for people with impaired immune systems, you can give it to your snakes.

Never use distilled water, it contains no minerals at all, and would cause problems over time. Bottled spring water would be good if your tap water is nasty.
