Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. Sundays in Lent are not counted in the forty days because each Sunday represents a "mini-Easter" and the reverent spirit of Lent is tempered with joyful anticipation of the Resurrection.

Lent changes every year because the dates for Easter change. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moo after the March equinox. So whenever Easter is will determine when Lent is. As Easter changes its date every year, so does Lent.
Palm Sunday falls the Sunday before Easter. Everyone is given palm leaves as a symbol of Jesus's ride into Jerusalem. On Ash Wednesday (or right before it, not sure about this part), the palm leaves from the previous year are burned, and that is what is used to begin the season of Lent.
