    Click on Change/width and choose the width.  You can also choose the

    track width as you hand route a track.  You can also type the command

       change width 5       if the grid is mm,  this will be 5 mm

                            if the grid is mil, this will be 5 mil

     

     

    Also is it possible to fill the unused part of the

    board with a GND track.

    This is also known as a copper pour.  Use the POLYGON command to draw a

    rectangle around the entire board.  I find that a 16 mil (~0.4mm) width

    works well.  Name the polygon GND, and then click on RATSNEST (it's an

    "X" with dots on the tips of the "X"), or type "ratsnest".

     

    AFAIK, all of this info is in the EAGLE tutorial.
