I am looking at a nice wheelset and trying to find out if I can put a road bike front wheel on my track bike. Also, why doesn't track bike uses skewers, don't that make flat repair and changing tires more easy? is there are difference in a road bike front wheel and a track bike front wheel?

short answer. Nope, no difference.

Yes, you should be able to put a "road" wheel on a track bike, provided it's the same size. But 27" wheels and 700c wheels are virtually the same size, and I've never had a problem swapping them out. Tires, however, are not interchangeable between those sizes.

Track bikes run nutted axles out of tradition, nothing more (someone correct me if I'm wrong.) So if I were you I'd run quick releases because as you said they make things easier.

Nutted axles are required on the track per regulations, however, you are allowed to use a road wheel with a hollow axle on the front with a bolted skewer instead of a quick release lever. On the road this rule is irrelevant, and you can certainly use a quick release lever, however, a bolted skewer provides some security over a QR lever against theft.
