Answer 1

SELECT DISTINCT Table2.ID, Table2.date,
            CASE
                WHEN Table1.ID = Table2.ID
                     AND Table1.date = Table2.date THEN Table1.value
                ELSE Table2.value
            END
FROM Table1, Table2

EDIT

SELECT n_t.n_ID,
       n_t.n_date,
       n_t.n_value
FROM
  (SELECT Table2.ID AS n_ID,
          Table2.date AS n_date,
          CASE
              WHEN Table1.ID = Table2.ID THEN CASE
                                                  WHEN Table1.date = Table2.date THEN Table1.value
                                                  ELSE Table2.value
                                              END
          END AS n_value
   FROM Table1,
        Table2) AS n_t
