I am not sure if this is possible but cannot find an option for it;

Is it possible to adjust the header/ footer side margins independently from the main body's margins?

I know you can adjust the margins for 'header from top' and 'footer from bottom', but I would like to have my header to go right to the edge of the page instead of remain within the 3cm from edge margins I have set for the main body.

Another question if anyone can help is how can I write in a header say, Mr.Brown on the left hand side and on the same line, but on the right hand side, write the date?

No, margins can't be set separately - at least not easily - but you can
apply both Left & Right Indentation to Headers & Footers. That's the most
appropriate & preferred method.

As for the second point, Headers & Footers in Word are already constructed
for exactly what you want to do... Just type the content you want on the
left, then press the Tab key twice & type the date [or you can change the
Tab settings in the Header and/or Footer to suit yourself.

Review Word Help on both Indents as well as Tabs for details.
