What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'm trying to create an eraser as a part of my turing project.

What is the problem you are having?
I don't know the exact code to do that.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I tried putting a loop, for loop, changing dot color to white, etc

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
N/A

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.0

If you've tried putting loops and changing the dot color to white, why don't you post that code?

use mouse where and then draw white oval or square/rectangle when the mouse is pressed.

The method offered by feebas200 is the one i'd also recommend.

If the background of your program is white, the action of "erasing" something is just returning the color of a particular portion of the screen back to the background color.

So code in a mouse click statement, use mouse.where and draw a white circle/square where the user clicked.
To emulate an MS Paint style eraser, you could have your code continue to draw a white circle/square the mouse co-ordinates while mouse button 1 is down, and stop when it is released.
