The feature you are looking for is deadlines; see "8.3 Deadlines and
scheduling" in the manual.
Also, check out the variable org-deadline-warning-days, which defaults
to 14. This means that as soon as the deadline is less than two weeks
away, it will show up in the agenda (and org-mode will display the
number of days remaining).
You can change this number globally through the variable.
To change it for a single deadline to, say, 70 days:
DEADLINE: <2010-02-26 Fr -70d>
AFAIK, the number of days remaining will only be displayed in the agenda
view and there is no feature that displays it in the actual org file.
HTH, Jan
