There are two errors here.

1. Err:7 http://ppa.launchpad.net/cappelikan/ppa/ubuntu plucky Release
2. Err:6 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla InRelease The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C0BA5CE6DC6315A3

Both of these are your own doing. You added these repositories at some time in the past.
Go run sudo pcmanfm, and look around in this folder: /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Open the files in there until you find the one for https://packages.mozilla.org/apt and delete it. Also find the file pertaining to http://ppa.launchpad.net/cappelikan/ppa/ubuntu and delete that too.

Then Pi-Apps should work.
Note: deleting all of the files will break updates for your operating system, so use caution.

I will also note in the majority of cases ubuntu ppa's should not be added to a debian install (there are edge cases where it is safe to do so when done properly like for mozilla firefox's ppa but these are edge cases and not the norm).
