What you require is a scheduled workflow.  You can do this any number of ways.  None of them easy.  I have successfully used the HarePoint workflow scheduler to do something like this.  You can create some date fields in your list, and then have the OnSave workflow calculate them.  Then, you create a workflow that compares today's date with each of the notification dates.  If its a match, send the notification or create a task.  It works well if the list is not very long.  If it has a lot of items, you may want to create a view for each notification with the filer being notificationdate = [today].  then, you can run one workflow or use seperate ones to run on the view in the list.  The workflow scheduler is free at HarePoint.com.
