When it is indicated in the music. There is no special time and no speciall occasion. However, the minor tonality is sometimes associated with 'spooky' 'sad' songs and certain cultures use it more than the major tonality. There are 3 forms of the minor scale: Natural, Melodic and Harmonic.
If you are playing Classical Music, then the harmonic minor scale is actually rarely used. In classical music, the melodic minor scale is favored. If you are playing jazz or any other type of music, a good time to use it is on top of a V7/Vi chord (using the third in the chord as the leading tone, a vi chord using the tonic of the chord as the starting point of the scale or any dominant chord in a minor mode.
There are tons of places to use the harmonic minor scale. Just experiment with it as much as possible. You'll find for yourself stuff that works and stuff that doesn't. Both will be very obvious.
Hope that helps!

What is the key signature for the harmonic scale for a clarinet?
The key signature for the harmonic minor scale changes depending on what key you are playing the scale in. For example, if you were to play a C harmonic minor you would play C minor (Bb, Eb, Ab) but sharp the seventh of the note (in this case, the Bb to B natural). This is just adding the leading tone into the scale. So, just to recap, play the minor version of the scale but add a sharped 7th. Now you have a harmonic minor.

What is the difference of a melodic scale and a harmonic scale?
The difference between a melodic minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that in a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh scale degrees are raised on the way up, and on the way down they are the same as they would be in natural minor. In a harmonic minor scale, only the seventh scale degree is raised and stays the same on the way down.
