Answer 1

If you want to change the \chapter heading of all the chapters use the titlesec package. I would not recommend that you change the contents heading on its own. If you realy wants it, you can add

\renewcommand*\cfttoctitlefont{\Huge\bfseries\hfill\MakeUppercase}
\renewcommand*\cftaftertoctitle{\hfill}

The following will give more or less wat you want, execpt for the linebreak after Chapter 1. That will cause chaos if you include sections.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}
    \newlength\mylenprt
    \newlength\mylenchp
    \newlength\mylenapp

    \renewcommand*\cftpartpresnum{\partname~}
    \renewcommand*\cftchappresnum{\chaptername~}
    \renewcommand*\cftchapaftersnum{.}
    \renewcommand*\cftchapdotsep{\cftdotsep}

    \settowidth\mylenprt{\cftpartfont\cftpartpresnum\cftpartaftersnum}
    \settowidth\mylenchp{\cftchapfont\cftchappresnum\cftchapaftersnum}
    \settowidth\mylenapp{\cftchapfont\appendixname~\cftchapaftersnum}
    \addtolength\mylenprt{\cftpartnumwidth}
    \addtolength\mylenchp{\cftchapnumwidth}
    \addtolength\mylenapp{\cftchapnumwidth}

    \setlength\cftpartnumwidth{\mylenprt}
    \setlength\cftchapnumwidth{\mylenchp}
\begin{document}

    \chapter{ACKNOWLEDGEMENT}

    \begin{figure}
      \caption{Fig test}
    \end{figure}
    \begin{table}
      \caption{Tab Test}
    \end{table}

    \appendix
    \addtocontents{toc}{% NB!!! must be inside the first \include
        \protect\renewcommand\protect\cftchappresnum{\appendixname~}%
        \protect\setlength{\cftchapnumwidth}{\mylenapp}}%

    \backmatter

Answer 2

This is a repeat of your question "Table of contents". So here is the same answer, but with commands added to break the chapter line. The command \cftchapaftersnumb is added and the internal command \l@chapter is redefined.

Regarding the list of figures and tables headings, remember that they are chapter headings and need to be formated the same as all the other chapter headings in the book. If you want someting else, look at my answer in the post "How to show \listoffigures and \listoftables on one page and in the toc?". You can tune that to make them section headings.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}
    \newlength\mylenprt
    \newlength\mylenchp
    \newlength\mylenapp

    \renewcommand*\cftpartpresnum{\partname~}
    \renewcommand*\cftchappresnum{\chaptername~}
    \renewcommand*\cftchapaftersnum{.}
    \renewcommand*\cftchapaftersnumb{\par\smallskip} %<<<<<<<< ADDED <<<<<
    \renewcommand*\cftchapdotsep{\cftdotsep}

    \settowidth\mylenprt{\cftpartfont\cftpartpresnum\cftpartaftersnum}
    \settowidth\mylenchp{\cftchapfont\cftchappresnum\cftchapaftersnum}
    \settowidth\mylenapp{\cftchapfont\appendixname~\cftchapaftersnum}
    \addtolength\mylenprt{\cftpartnumwidth}
    \addtolength\mylenchp{\cftchapnumwidth}
    \addtolength\mylenapp{\cftchapnumwidth}

    \setlength\cftpartnumwidth{\mylenprt}
    \setlength\cftchapnumwidth{\mylenchp}

    \makeatletter
    \renewcommand*{\l@chapter}[2]{%
        \ifnum \c@tocdepth >\m@ne
            \addpenalty{-\@highpenalty}%
            \vskip \cftbeforechapskip
            {\leftskip \cftchapindent\relax
            \rightskip \@tocrmarg
            \parfillskip -\rightskip
            \parindent \cftchapindent\relax\@afterindenttrue
            \interlinepenalty\@M

            %\advance\leftskip \@tempdima %<<<<<< CHANGE <<<<<
            \null\nobreak\hskip -\leftskip
            {\cftchapfont #1}\nobreak
            \cftchapfillnum{#2}}%
