And no, before you link me to some wack thread, I have read up on each one and none of them have the right solution, for they are completely different matters.

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
02    local copieddata = script.Data:Clone()
03    copieddata.Parent = plr
04    local data = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
05    local cashdata = data:GetDataStore("Cash")
06        local success, cashdata = pcall(function()
07            return cashdata:GetAsync(plr)
08        end)
09 
10        if success then
11            if cashdata == nil then
12            cashdata:SetAsync(plr, 0)
13            end
14            copieddata.Cash.Value = cashdata
15    end
16 
17 
18    --data
19 
20 
21    local copiedplotinfo = script.PlotInformation:Clone()
22    copiedplotinfo.Parent = plr
23    if workspace.Plots.Plot1.Owner.Value == "Nil" then
24        copiedplotinfo.Plot.Value = "Plot1"
25        workspace.Plots.Plot1.Owner.Value = plr.Name
26    elseif workspace.Plots.Plot2.Owner.Value == "Nil" then
27        copiedplotinfo.Plot.Value = "Plot2"
28        workspace.Plots.Plot2.Owner.Value = plr.Name
29    elseif workspace.Plots.Plot3.Owner.Value == "Nil" then
30        copiedplotinfo.Plot.Value = "Plot3"
31        workspace.Plots.Plot3.Owner.Value = plr.Name

At line 06, you attempted to define cashdata again as the data in the data store, which in this case is a number. So when you attempted to set the data at line 52, you're actually calling SetAsync on a number. You need to use a different variable name for the variable to not override itself.

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
02    local copieddata = script.Data:Clone()
03    copieddata.Parent = plr
04    local data = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
05    local cashdata = data:GetDataStore("Cash")
06        local success, cash = pcall(function()
07            return cashdata:GetAsync(plr)
08        end)
09 
10        if success then
11            if cash == nil then
12            cashdata:SetAsync(plr, 0)
13            end
14            copieddata.Cash.Value = cash
15    end

18    --data

21    local copiedplotinfo = script.PlotInformation:Clone()

23    if workspace.Plots.Plot1.Owner.Value == "Nil" then
24        copiedplotinfo.Plot.Value = "Plot1"
25        workspace.Plots.Plot1.Owner.Value = plr.Name
26    elseif workspace.Plots.Plot2.Owner.Value == "Nil" then
27        copiedplotinfo.Plot.Value = "Plot2"
28        workspace.Plots.Plot2.Owner.Value = plr.Name
29    elseif workspace.Plots.Plot3.Owner.Value == "Nil" then
30        copiedplotinfo.Plot.Value = "Plot3"
