That's the only way they have of regulating their body temperatures - they sweat through their nose and pads.Their noses tend to feel cold because as the moisture evaporates, it takes the heat away. BTW, their noses are not always cold ... just most of the time.

I'm not sure why, but I think it helps them to smell things better.

They normally lick there noses all the time for one thing. Some animal experts believe it assists in thermoregulation since dogs can't sweat so they pant; so there noses are wet. And the air cool the moisture of the wet nose, so it's cold and wet. Just a thought.
