(US NEC) This is probably an outlet for a clothes dryer. Hot one (black) to one side. Hot two (red) to the other side. Neutral (white) to the center. Ground (green) to the box. However, this will NOT work in a mobile home. There, you MUST use a four wire outlet and pigtail and carry all four wires all the way back to the distribution panel, and neutral/ground must NOTbe connected at the dryer.

White wire a black wire a red wire and a bare wire?
white wire = neutral bare wire = ground black wire = line voltage red wire = returned from a switch, or the other phase of line voltage in order to supply 240VAC
Can you run 8 gauge thhn wire for 30a circuit?
yes
What breaker do you use for 10-2 wire?
Assuming a 120V circuit then a 30A Single Pole. For a 240V circuit an 30A two pole. Of course anything smaller that a 30A is acceptable. 30A is the maximum allowed.
Can you safely change a 30 amp breaker to 20 amps?
No, this is not a recommended procedure. The breakers main job is to protect the wire that is connected to it. A 20A breaker will have a #12 wire (rated 20A) connected to it. A 30A breaker will have a #10 wire (rated 30A) connected to it. As you can see if you use a 30A breaker on a #12 wire you could overload the wire by 10 amps. I have seen an incident where the insulation has melted off of an overloaded wire, the wire short out and a fire start before the bigger size breaker tripped. DON'T DO IT.
How do you fix open live wire?
Disconnect it from the power source.
