First things first, using D as a variable will not work as it is a
protected symbol. Try it by typing ??D . Infact using capital letters to
define your variables is not a good idea (it is my opinion ofcourse)

You mean Solve[f[x]==0,x]
f[x_] := a*x^2 + b*x*p + d
The way I have learned to do this is
sol1=Solve[f[x]==0,x]
w1[a_,b_,d_,p_]=x/.sol1[[1]]
w2[a_,b_,d_,p_]=x/.sol1[[2]]
This will give you a function w1 and w2 in terms of your parameters
without the curly brackets

Here you can input your values for a,b &d etc p is iterated in your table

This is a little tricky, maybe some one can provide a simpler way to do
this. I have used the MatrixManipulation package to get plot the first
columns vs the other two, note if you have complex solution you have to
modify your plot commands. You may also try the multiple list package
dat = Table[{p, w1[1, 1,0, p], w1[1, 1, 0, p]}, {p, 0, 10, 1}]
dat // MatrixForm
<< LinearAlgebra`MatrixManipulation`
ListPlot[TakeColumns[dat, 2]]
ListPlot[Table[{Flatten[TakeColumns[dat, 1]][[b]],
Flatten[TakeColumns[dat, \
-1]][[b]]}, {b, 1, Length[dat]}]]
