field like

and

probability cloud like.

What is the difference between a positron and electron and a nutrino?

A positron is like an electron in every way but charge, electrons having -1, positrons having +1. In other words, they're a positron is an electron's antiparticle. Neutrinos are chargeless, pointlike, nearly massless particles associated with electron and positron decays that exist in order to preserve the conservation of energy, momentum and angular momentum in these decay processes.

What is the region around the nucleus where electrons are?

The electron cloud. An electron cloud is a volume or region in the atom where it is likely to find or detect an electron. It is actually really hard to detect an electron because an atom is mostly empty space, electrons are orbiting the nucleus at almost the speed of light so they orbit really fast, the electrons are very tiny and may be point like since we don't really know the volume or size of the electron, and an atom in reality is 3 dimensional which the electron cloud and orbitals is 3 dimensional. Since electrons are so hard to detect then they would call this volume or region of the atom an electron cloud because the electron cloud is a volume or region where they know that electrons are likely to be there even if they are hard to find. Or maybe the electron cloud is where they can also know the different sub- orbitals or subshells of the electrons.

What makes a proton change to a electron?

A proton never changes to an electron just as a dog never changes to a cat, they are completely different things really. In beta decay a neutron may decay into a proton and emit and electron and an anti-neutrino but that is about it.
