How many yards of concrete do you need for my project 6 feet by 6 feet and four inches deep?
That equates to 2 yards by 2 yards by 4/36 of a yard = 2 x 2 x 1/9 = 4/12 = 4/9 of a sq yard. Therefore, by normally accepted trade measurements, you will need just under 1/2 yard of concrete. A "yard" of concrete refers to a cubic yard which is 3 x 3 x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet. Your project is 6 x 6 x 1/3 feet = 12 cubic feet or a bit less than 1/2 cubic yard, but more than 1/3.
What do you put under linoleum floor in bathroom to make it even?
There are a few different ways to level your subfloor to make it ready for vinyl or linoleum flooring - depending on what kind of subfloor you have, and how much leveling has to be done. If your subfloor is concrete, and is smooth and in good shape, you need put nothing down first - install your linoleum right to the concrete. If your concrete has cracks or even major areas of unevenness, you can apply a concrete leveling compound (trowel it smooth, or pour a self-leveling variety). Then flooring on top of that. If your subfloor is wood, you'll need an underlayment. Most folks use 1/4"-5/16" wood underlayment designed for flooring, but a better option would be 1/4" tile backerboard (it's moisture resistant and won't rot like wood will). You can also apply the same sort of leveling compound I mentioned above, and trowel or pour that to your subfloor. With compound or underlayment, either way, once the floor is smooth and even, you're ready for flooring.

Your slab is slightly over 40 cubic feet. Home Depot sells a 60 pound redi-mix bag which contains 1/2 cubic foot. You will need at least 80 bags. You will need slightly more (maybe 90-100) if you dig you area under the slab unevenly or too deep.

One way is to hire a contractor to pump concrete through the patio to fill the void (and also level the patio if necessary). That is probably the least problematic and most reliable option.
Can you put something over a concrete patio like stone or something to make it look nice with out removing the concrete?
You certainly can, infact a quick google search for 'resurface concrete patio' gave plenty of good options of just how to accomplish it. There are do-it-yourself kits you can buy either online or possibly at a hardware store that seem easy enough. I'd link one here, but I don't think its allowed (would fall under advertising?). I hope this helps, good luck!

Sealing Your Concrete Patio or Wooden Deck?
In order to protect your newly poured concrete patio or freshly built wooden deck, it is important to have it sealed. A properly sealed patio or deck will hold up better and last longer under all types of weather conditions. It will also be protected against spills and stains. Sealants can be applied with a brush, roller or, in some instances, with a sprayer. To get professional results read and follow the instructions on the label of the can of sealant.

Patio covers can be found under $1000 if your patio isn't too oversized. If you can't find any patio patios under $1000 for your home, I suggest waiting for a clearance sale so that you'll find patio covers that are at least close to your ideal price.

How to Decorate a Concrete Patio?
Adding a concrete patio to your backyard can create a welcoming place to sit at the end of a long day. However, the neutral tone of the area can be quite mundane if not properly decorated. Making this area more inviting does not take much effort. Below are a few things you can do to make your concrete patio a place of enjoyment. Determine the color you wish the patio flooring to be. Though concrete typically comes in gray, there are many stains available to make it the shade you wish. This can also be helpful making an old patio look new again. Ensure the concrete is well cleaned prior to applying the stain. Allow to thoroughly dry before walking or placing any items on it. Be sure to properly follow all the directions on the stain label to avoid incorrect use of the product. Include patio furniture to the area. There are a variety of furniture styles for you to choose from. A strong wood, such as cedar, makes great outdoor furniture that is durable and long-lasting. Wrought iron offers a sophisticated feel to the area. Generally, have enough seating for 3-4 people to enjoy the concrete patio. A small table makes a nice addition. Add a few potted plants to the patio for a more natural feel. 2-5 annuals in large pots placed strategically around the patio area can allow for a more fragrant and aesthetically pleasing area. Changing these plants out often is another idea to keeping the patio new and fresh. Throw down an outdoor rug. Many rugs made for the outdoors are built to last, and can keep your concrete patio from becoming damaged or discolored by muddy shoes or spills. This decoration complements the furniture well. Consider placing the rug under the table or in the middle of the sitting area for maximum effect. Consider placing an awning of other roofing surface over your concrete patio. This will not only allow you to sit outside in less than beautiful weather, but will also protect the area.
