It has the function of expressions like
"Di" +
Personal pronoun / Demonstrative pronoun / Demonstrative adjective
"Da" +
Personal pronoun / Demonstrative pronoun / Demonstrative adjective
"Per" +
Personal pronoun / Demonstrative pronoun / Demonstrative adjective
i.e.:
"Quanti cani ci sono?"
[ How may dogs are there? ]
"Ce ne sono 4." => "Ci sono 4 *di essi*."
[ There are 4 of them ]
i.e.:
"Quei leoni sono pericolosi!"
[ Those lions are dangerous! ]
"Ne stia alla larga!" => "Stia lontana *da essi*!"
[ Stay away from them! ]
i.e.:
"Ti verrò a trovare, se ne avrò tempo." => "Ti verrò a trovare, se avrò tempo *per (fare) questo*."
[ I'll come and see you, if I have time ]
i.e.:
"Che situazione... Ne parlano tutti." => "Che situazione... Parlano tutti di questa (cosa)."
What a situation... Everybody speaks *about this (thing)*.
i.e.:
"Me ne vado, adesso." => "Vado via da qui, adesso"
I'm leaving now *from here*.

As for "Se", you mean the "Se" you can fin in expressions like "se ne andarono"?

Before I start, a little additon to "Ne".
Ne = "Di" / "Da" + Adverbs of place
---
"Se ne" and other forms
---
"Ora, me ne vado" = "Ora, vado via da qui"
"Ora, te ne vai" = "Ora, vai via da qui"
"Ora, se ne va" = "Ora, va via da qui"
"Ora, ce ne andiamo" = "Ora, andiamo via da qui"
"Ora, ve ne andate" = "Ora, andate via da qui"
"Ora, se ne vanno" = "Ora, vanno via da qui"
"Me ne", "se ne" and so on are called "particelle pronominali raggruppate" [ grouped pronoun particles ].
They're used in pleonastic sense [ redundant ], to intensify the meaning.
