Consider of drawing one card from a deck of $52$. Prove that the events of a spade being drawn and an ace being drawn are independent events.
Let $A$ be the event that a spade is drawn and let $B$ be the event that an ace is drawn.
Then, $text P(A) = 4/52 = 1/13$ and $text P(B) = 4/52 = 1/13$.
How can I calculate $text P(Acap B)$? And how can I prove that these events are independent since the question specifically asked to prove that they are independent?

You didn't compute the probability of event $A$ correctly. There are $13$ spades in a standard deck. So $P(A)=13/52=1/4$. Note that $Acap B$ corresponds to drawing the ace of spades and hence
$$
frac{1}{52}=P(Acap B)=frac{1}{4}timesfrac{1}{13}=P(A)P(B)
$$
