Answer 1

You need to enclose those statements in an anonymous PL/SQL block
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB(
   job_name          =>  'job32',
   job_type          =>  'PLSQL_BLOCK',
   job_action        =>  'BEGIN INSERT INTO XYZ VALUES (7935, ''SALLY'',SYSDATE); UPDATE MANU.XYZ SET EMPID = 33; END;'
   start_date        =>  SYSDATE,
   repeat_interval   =>  'FREQ = DAILY; INTERVAL = 1');
END;
