I have a SSD and a HDD on my system. I want to install Ubuntu on the SSD (dual boot with win10) and keep all other files, programs etc. on the HDD? How much disk space I need on the SSD and how can I achieve this?

The official "minimum" space requirements for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS & Ubuntu 17.10 show 25GB of free hard drive space. You probably will want to add some cushion to that so that you don't run into trouble with your SSD -- especially since both Ubuntu and Win10 will increase in size.
Assuming you have 25GB free on the SSD plus some cushion (I'd recommend ~40GB+ free space on the SSD before moving forward), then when you boot to an Ubuntu Live USB stick and step through the installation process, you'll have the opportunity to make choices about where everything gets installed and how.
