I just installed the CTA5 demo version, and I tried to add a prop to a character in Composer mode. I dragged out a prop on the character, so the prop is now located on the character, but if I want to move the prop to change its position or size it is just jumping back to original position and size. When I go to the stage mode, there I can change the props position but if I go back to composer mode it is still on the previous position.
Also I dont know how can I attach the prop in front or the back of the character.

Hi...

I'm not sure if it's important you attach a desk to your character but you may find it easier to just keep the desk as a separate prop in your scene where you place your character behind it (you can do this by switching to 3D View and adjust your characters position along the z-axis).

Cartoon Animator has options to link (temporary) or attach (permanent) props to a character and an explanation of their uses can be found HERE.

There is also a great tutorial covering attaching or linking that can be found HERE. This should help and it also explains how to get the layer order correct.
