If you need to look at it in the terms of tense, could is the past of can. [Can you go to the movies with us tonight? I couldn't go last night because I had a cold.]
It is also used in indirect speech: He asked me if I could help him out tomorrow < "Can you help me out tomorrow?"
It is, unfortunately, also used in place of would and in place of can
