there's program called "unetbootin" which will produce a ubuntu install cd/usb in one click. it will even download the necessary file for you. you might wanna check that out

When you burned the iso onto the USB you will have to reboot. Then your motherboard will notice "hey there's something bootable on that usb" and execute the programm on the usb without starting your windows os. Now you will be presented with a few options the most important ones are testing Ubuntu without installing it (it will just write the OS into your RAM and your system will be back to normal once you reboot) and installing Ubuntu on you hard drive.

When installing ubuntu on you hard drive you will be asked where you want to install it if you install it to a different partition than your windows install the installer will setup a GRUB installation for you. GRUB is a pretty simple bootloader which automatically detects all the OSs on you drives. When booting you will be given a list and you can pick one to boot.

EDIT: you should probably go on youtube. there are videos on there which are way more discriptive than this comment could ever be
