The "two finger tap" can be enabled as a secondary click in System
Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad. ("Tap trackpad using two
fingers for secondary click". You also have to enable clicking as a
trackpad gesture, otherwise you can only get "For secondary clicks,
place two fingers on the trackpad then click the button".)

Secondary click will normally bring up a contextual menu, the same as
Ctrl-click, or clicking the right button on a two button mouse (assuming
left is primary and right is secondary, which is the normal setup for a
right handed person).

If you want secondary click to activate Expose, then go into System
Preferences > Expose (or "Dashboard and Expose" or "Expose and Spaces")
and you can specify mouse buttons which activate each type of Expose
action. The first menu next to each action is for keyboard shortcuts,
the second is for mouse shortcuts.
