The API documentation is your friend ;)
http://cairographics.org/manual/

If you are using the surface as a destination you probably want to use:
cairo_translate(cr, x_off, y_off);
http://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Transformations.html#cairo-translate

In some special cases you might want to use
cairo_surface_set_device_offset(surface, x_offset, y_offset);
http://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#cairo-surface-set-device-offset
