I'm very new to gaming and I've got a lot of data crystals but when I visit a vendor my purchases are automatically deducted from my credits and I see no option to pay with crystals instead. What do you have to do in order to pay with data crystals?

When I try to use my escape pod, an error message shows, saying “The escape pod is unavailable at this time.”
My guess is that it's either for some mission, where you will have to use it, or it serves no purpose at all (for now?).
When you visit a crafting trainer, by default you only see the items you can craft with your current crafting skill. So, new items will appear there when your crafting skill reaches higher level.
But you can let it show all schematics (including those that you can't craft yet) by choosing "All" instead of "Trainable" in the dropdown in the upper right corner of the window. This way, you can find out what level of the crafting ability do you need to craft the better items.
In the screenshot above, you can see that I have chosen "All", so that even schematics that I can't craft yet (that require level ≥ 380) are visible.

Different vendors will accept different currency.
Some vendors will only accept money, others will accept Crystals and others will only accept currency that you receive from certain re-occurring events.
Data crystals are most commonly used to purchase gear once you reach level 50, you can find these vendors in the supplies section of the fleet or you can use these as you level to buy new mods, armoring's and enhancements.
So, to answer "how to use data crystals to purchase something":
Simply find a vendor that will accept them as currency and they will automatically be deducted from your inventory.
The currency and amount needed to buy an item is always listed to the right of the item.
Some items will require a combination of different currencies to buy it.
