Is a clip-on device that mounts on top of the processor fingers or fins at its base pull the heat away from the processor.?
yes, usually mounted directly to the top of the processor is a heat-sink(piece of aluminum with fins, lots of what could be called fingers) its purpose is to dissipate(remove) heatA COOLER is a clip-on device that mounts on top of the processor; fingers or fins at its base pull the heat away from the processor.~tekno

Where is the CPU located in the computer?
Most motherboards are the same in this regard. Your CPU should be less than 2" away from the back panel of your motherboard (Where your keyboard, mouse, USB devices, etc plug into) inside of your case. It will be covered by a heatsink (Metal fins, square aluminium box with fins, etc) and usually a fan. This shouldn't be removed unless you have thermal grease to reapply to your CPU, or if you're removing the CPU permanently.
What is the big thing that protects the CPU?
You must be referring to the CPU heatsink/fan assembly. Modern CPUs generate so much heat that it is necessary to provide cooling in order to prevent damage. The heat sink is a metal piece which mounts directly on top of the CPU, through physical contact the heatsink draws heat from the CPU into itself. The top of the heatsink is designed to have as much surface area as possible in order to maximize heat dispersal. Usually a fan is then mounted on top of the heatsink in order to further increase its cooling ability.
