Are you thinking in terms of a character-based DOS window/terminal display?  
The Java UI is a graphical, not character-based, user interface.  Hence,
unless you consider each pixel as having a row and column address, 
there are no such things as column and row numbers.  Furthermore, instead
of outputting to "the screen", one paints into a component.  

Are you saying that you have a window, and in that window's content 
area you'd like to be able to place a piece of text at any location
specified by an x-y coordinate?

If so, numerous beginning books on Java explain this.  Look in some of 
the examples in the JBuilder\samples\java\demo folder for the use of
Graphics.drawString().
