Answer 1

you should be using:
$this->Form->create('Store');
public function add(){
$this->layout = 'user_layout';
$user_id = $this->UserAuth->getUserId();
$owner_id = $this->Common->getOwnerId($user_id);
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->Store->create('Store');
if ($this->Store->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('User has been Added'));
return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'add'));
} $this->Flash->error(__('Unable to add your post.'));
}
}

Yes, I solved the problem. There was a minor problem. I forgot the following line in the controller:
var $uses = array('Store');
