Get the mouse position with CanvasItem.get_global_mouse_position():

var mouse_position = get_global_mouse_position()

Then you can get a direction vector with:

var direction = (mouse_position - position).normalized()

Without knowing how the rest of your code is set up, that should be enough get you started. I highly recommend reading this:
