I just started the game, so I am not sure how important position is versus the skills.

I have a QB with 13 int, 3 passing and 3 vision
I also have a Kicker with 19 int, 7 passing and 7 vision.

Would I be able to use my kicker as QB if I want to? Would that be better because he has better skills? Or do I have to use the QB for it?

Same goes for almost all positions, aside from 3 players, all my players have out of position skills, like my running back is a good TE, whereas my CB is a great running back and all that.

So do I look for the position first, or can I make my kicker QB and my CB the RB and so forth, changing their positions?

With a new team, yes, it is recommended you move your players around to positions that better suit their skills. If you play them in enough games at that position, they will eventually change positions on the roster. (When their position rating at the new position becomes higher than the position rating of the old position).
There are some good sticky threads and announcements in the center for rookies section that have a lot of good information for new owners. Some of it may be a bit dated now, but most is still relevant and even the dated stuff should give you a general idea of what's going on.

A good early tip, if you are playing against bot teams, set your offense to 90% run. You'll beat most bots with that offense, even now.

Good luck and welcome to GI.

I have a newbie question about player skills. So why some skills are colored in BLUE, and others colored in BLACK? Does this mean that blue colored skill can grow, and black colored cant?

It's simpler than that. Black is for 1-4. Blue 5-9. Yellow 10-14. Green 15-20.
In terms of what skills can grow, you can see this on the 'Training details' tab (requires a Supporter account I believe)
