What kind of CD should I buy if I want to download Linux Ubuntu?
I do not wish to have Linux Ubuntu as my permanent handling system. we wish to keep in upon the CD, though that a single do we need?

You want a LiveCD.
Knoppix is a better choice, it is designed to run from a CD or DVD (there are 2 versions, the DVD has a huge number of programs that run from the DVD).

you need to burn it on either a blank CDr or blank DVDr, depending on the size
What you need is a live CD, use the link below to download the ISO and burn to a standard CD using nero or some other burning software, its about 690 mb in size so a normal cd should be fine

Ubuntu has a feature “Wubi” which will install Linux on your hard drive without modifying your basic Windows setup. Running Linux from a CD is slow and many of the features are crippled. Wubi is a much better experience and won’t mess up your Windows installation. It can be uninstalled from the Windows control panel “Add/Remove Programs.”
Ubuntu is distributed over the Internet as CD image files, called ISOs. Unlike a regular data file, the ISO file cannot be dragged and dropped or copied directly onto a disc. It needs to be burned in a specific way that expands/extracts the image so you have usable files on your disc. To install Ubuntu from a CD, you first need to burn the downloaded ISO image onto a CD. This requires:
A working CD/DVD burner
An 80 minute (700 Mb) CD
The cheapest “write once” CDs that can only usually be bought in packets of 10 or more tend to be much better for this. DVDs require a higher ‘burn speed’ which often causes problems. More expensive types of CDs seem optimised for data-storage rather than for booting-up from. Also if the 1st one does not work it hurts a lot less and also you often get a spindle to keep your linux CDs on.

I recommend Sony or Verbatim CD-R’s.
Stay away from Memorex, they often don’t last long in my experience.
If you want to install additional programs, modify the desktop, want faster boot, etc., then you want Ubuntu on a USB flash drive. You can not install programs, etc., to a LiveCD version. You can put Ubuntu on the USB drive yourself or you can purchase it already on the drive (as a Live, Persistent, or Fully-Installed versions).
