The Active wire is always either Red (in a 3 core Red, Black and Green cable) or Brown (in a 3 core Brown, Blue and Green/Yellow cable). You can also be electrocuted by the neutral (Black or Blue) wire if the active is still supplying current through a device. The only truly safe way to handle mains wiring is to completely isolate the circuit at the fuse board.

Is it okay to use an adapter to change a three pin plug into a two pin plug?
No, it is not ok, it is potentially very dangerous because the two-wire cable has no earth with it. The earth wire is an important safety component that comes with a three-pin plug. An exception can be made for certain low-power appliances that have double insulation. This includes TV sets, radios, and table lights provided the mounting is plastic and not metal. These appliances are commonly sold with a twin-wire cable but often with a three-pin plug on the end of it. The three-pin plug in this case often has a plastic 'earth' pin and it is safe to replace it with a two-pin plug.

It is safer to use a 3-to-2 prong adapter if you need to plug a 3-wire device into a 2-wire outlet.
