How to change the database.php file (database name, uname, password, host name etc..)

I don't believe you are really asking how to change but what to change it to. You will need to create a new database and user from bluehost's cpanel. Use the database create wizard to help you. Use those values for the input of database.php. Db server is localhost.

Is there any additional configration needed for cakephp?

We will assume that if you are asking such basic questions then you haven't touched anything that will require special handling. Just make sure .htaccess files are copied to the server too.

I heard about removing tmp files and logs. how can we do this

Go inside app/tmp directory and remove all files. Make sure the directory structure is not changed - that is subfolders are not deleted.

How to dump our database into server and how to make it accessible.

Dump your local database with something like mysqldump -uuser -p db > db.sql and then use that file to import it in your new database with bluehost's phpmyadmin. Obviously you will need to change user and db to reflect your local user and db name.
