depending on the size and the stock of fish,

you're supposed to clean it once a week!

lol...

let me congratulate you for coming to the aquarist hobby.

But, in order to give you a detailed answer, i need you to give more info. How big is your tank?

Anything smaller than a 2.5 is just plain cruel. And thats only big enough for a betta!

Youre supposed to for example, a well stocked 10 gallon tank to clean once a week 20% of the water. you can rinse out the filter every 2-3 weeks. You can change the cartridges every 2-3 months.

Good luck!
