Sorry, that's wrong, Jetty. The phrase is 'to have time to do something'.

Shoudn't it be:,,Do you have a time to go to the store for me.''? We say:,, have a good time''-in this expression we have to use ''a'' because there is an adjective ''good'' before ''time''? The ''good'' attracts ''a''? PLease tell me what does ''at a time'' mean?

NOT 'have a time to...'. In this expression, time is uncountable. In 'have a good time', 'time' is a countable noun. 'At a time' is a different expression with the same meaning as 'at the same time', 'concurrently'.
