for what should I use fn key by default on mac book pro

Solution 1:

It swaps the function of the function keys between the OS X function and the actual F1-F12 key. For example, pressing F1 normally will lower the brightness, but pressing fn+F1 will pass an actual F1. You can see these mappings by looking at the icon on the key itself.

This can be swapped in System Preferences → Keyboard so that fn+F1 will lower brightness and F1 will pass an actual F1.

Alternatively you can swap it by running the following Terminal command, then logging out:

defaults write -g com.apple.keyboard.fnState -bool true

Also, fn+fn is used by default to start OS X Dictation.

Perhaps the most common usage though, is using FN+Backspace to get a delete key.

You can learn this by using help from Finder (⌘?), search for "fn" and read the article titled "Use keyboard function keys"
