Use asterisks for the month and year in the date:

if you are using european-calendar-style:

1/*/* #B _ task for the first day of the month

otherwise:

*/1/* #B _ task for the first day of the month

> other example : creating a task on the second tuesday of each month

I think you can use the diary-float function:

&%%(diary-float t 2 2) #B _ task description

where the argument t means all months, the first 2 means Tuesday, and
the second 2 means the second one of the month.

There are details in the info node

(emacs)Special Diary Entries

and in the documentation for diary-float.
