>>i can't call any function in the main (don't know how)
almost identical to calling any normal function except you have to reference the name of the object. For example if you want to call search_By_Id() then do it like this

obj.search_By_Id();

setName() is wrong. since Name has been declared as a pointer you need to allocate memory for it. But if you declare Name as std::string you don't have to worry about that. If you want to keep it as char* then code that function like this:

void student::setName(char* x){
       Name= new char[strlen(x)+1];
       strcpy(Name, x);
}

getName() is also coded wrong. It should return a const pointer because its value should not be changed by the calling function. and coded as below.

const char* student::getName(){
    return Name;
}
