Welcome to GDN. The first thing you need to learn is how to program. I recommend FreeBASIC, at least starting out. FreeBASIC is free and a great beginning programming language. However, it's not so great for making games. I recommend it as an educational tool. Here's some links :

Getting Started with FreeBASIC - start here
Easy FreeBASIC - no frills tutorial series
FBHacker - tutorials as challenges

Once you have the basics down, you can move up to a game programming language like Brutus2D. You could start with Brutus2D and people who do have been doing well. However, I'm not comfortable recommending it as a first programming language (yet). Brutus2D is also free. See Getting Started with Brutus2D.
