a euphemism of the old adage, "hell of a job"
(note: euphemisms are used widely by politicians as a mild form of a word or phrase, in order to maintain a politically correct, less offensive tone; however, in doing so, their remarks generally come off as lame or insincere, even wimpy)
Use of "heck of a job" generally means the speaker does not have the guts (wherewithal) to speak directly, and so "softens" the phrase "hell of a job" in a euphemistic attempt to act like an everyday, regular, run-of-the-mill person.
For instance, when an Elitist like G. W. Bush, in order to appear to be a Populist, says one of his staff is doing a "heck of a job," we wonder why he doesn't just say the guy is doing a "hell of a job." It is then that we realize, that neither is doing a "hell of a job" because they do not know what one is...

The phrase used by those who swore not to swear, but become very irritated during a certain situation

"heck-care" is a phrase with a similar meaning to "heck if I care" but with a slightly more flexible syntactical role. It is possibly derived from such phrases as "heck if I care" (See also: wordsense-dot-eu/heck-care/). It is used by some Singlish speakers. The phrase is often part of an informal tone/register. Depending on the context and inflection, it may be received with either understanding or offense.
P.S.: It is possible that "heck" is mistranscribed as "hack" in the UrbanDictionary definition for "Hack Care", or vice versa. This article(answers-dot-com/english-language-arts/What_is_heck_care) claims the phrase to have the opposite meaning than that described here which does not comport with my personal experience.

James: "Oh shit, I never return back Ben's pen he lend me."
Janice: "He heck-care, lah." ("Ben won't be upset")
Alternatively, Janice: "Heck-care, lah." ("Don't worry about it"/"It is of little concern")
James: "Oh yeah, hor; Ben very heck-care in general, right?" (Here, Ben isn't too anal about things, rather maybe too relaxed)
