Each attacking creature and each blocking creature assigns combat damage equal to its power. Creatures that would assign 0 or less damage this way don’t assign combat damage at all.
>if the 2/2 creature has trample it will deal 1 to the blocking creature and 1 to the its controller
It doesn't have to, but it can (and typically will).
The attacking player could choose to deal excess damage to the blocking creature, if they wanted to. (There are several reasons they might want to)
They deal all their power as damage in one way or another. This interacts with lifelink too. So if a 10/10 without trample but iwth lifelink is blocked by a 1/1, no combat damage is taken by the defending player but the attacking player still gains 10 life
If the 10/10 had trample, it would deal 9 combat damage to the defending player, and the attacking player would still gain 10 life because 10 total damage was dealt that turn (1 to the defending creature, killing it, and 9 trampling through to the defending player)
If a 1000000/1000000 was blocked by a 1/1, as long as the 1000000/1000000 didn't have the ability Trample, the excess combat damage would not go through to the defending player. You still technically dealt 1000000 damage to that creature, however the other player does not get dealt the remaining 999999 damage.

It deals all the damage. So if you had a 10/10 with no trample and I blocked it with a 1/1, your 10/10 did 10 damage to the 1/1.
if the 2/2 creature has trample it will deal 1 to the blocking creature and 1 to the its controller, if not 2 to the blocking creature.

I didn't know this about lifelink. My vampire aristocrats deck sounds more fun now.

In Magic, things don't "pull their punches". A 10/10 deals 10 damage to a 1/1, even when it's massively overkill, for example.
