The Jewish calendar works very differently from the Christian one. Days begin at sunset; months begin with the new moon. And the year begins on the anniversary of the biblical creation of man - the first day of the month of Tishri. (This is 6 days after the biblical creation of the world, since man was created on the sixth day.)

In 2008, the Jewish new year begins on Tuesday, September 30 (actually, at sunset of the day before).

On the secular calendar when is Purim celebrated?

It is different every year. It is always on the 14th (or 15th in a few cities) of Adar, a Jewish month. The Jewish months are calculated based on a lunar cycle designed to stay in sync with the solar calendar, unlike the calendar used in America which is purely solar. Because of this, the dates are different every year.
