the two both can express to have done something with different emphases.
了 emphasizes recently, just now, already, etc. e.g we often ask each other 吃(饭)了吗? which means have you eaten food(had breakfast, lunch, supper etc).
过 emphasizes experience, once at least, ever before, etc e.g (以前)吃过吗?means have you eaten it ever before.
hope that help.
