Assuming the ceiling fan also has lights then that is what the second lead is for. You can tie the black & blue together and attach them to black lead in the lighting box. The light and fan will come on together when you flip the light switch and you have to use the pull chain on it for control. ALWAYS connect the green ground wire to the house wiring ground. This is a SERIOUS safety and fire hazard issue if you do not.
I see only a red and a green wire coming out from ceiling box. What are they and how do you connect them to a ceiling light?
The red and green wires are likely the live and ground wires, respectively. To connect them to a ceiling light, connect the green wire to the ground screw on the light fixture and connect the red wire to the live wire on the fixture. Make sure to turn off the power before working on the wiring to avoid any accidents.
How do you change a 3 wire cealing fan circuit to a 2 wire light circuit?
Sure; the fan has 3 wires so you can wire the light and fan separately, but if you don't have that option, you don't NEED to put the fan and the light on separate switches. You can always turn the light or fan on/off using the pull strings.

How do you replace dining room light fixture?
If you don't know how to install light fixture, I don't recommend that you do it by yourself. The installation theory is actually very simple - all you need to do is attach fixture on the ceiling (or any other place) and then connect the electrical wires (usually there are two of them). After that it's good to put the light cover over the fixture to improve the appearance.
In the US where do the blue red green and white wires on a fan go to when the ceiling has red black bare copper and white wires?
Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.
Why the lighting circuit is not function properly?
first do any of the lights down stairs work and if only the outside light works that may be the first light of the circuit. but wires do come loose and on some occasions break near the terminal block so if you check all lights down stairs for loose and broken wires you should be able to find the problem
