Question: convert algebraic to parametric

How to convert an  algebraic equation to a parametrized one ?

 

How to sketch the curve of a circular cylinder , x^2+y^3^=a^2 with the parametric equations lying on it ?

x=a*cos't) , y=a*sin(t) , z=b*t , if t varies from 0 to 2*Pi, the point P starts at(a,0,0) and moves upward.

How to show that the parametric equations are indeed lying on the cylinder ?

How to plot the whole things ?
