First off, know that it will take a few days and some effort on your part.
Do you have a bank account ? MtGox (https://mtgox.com/) and Intersango (https://intersango.com/) take deposits via Bank Wire and exchanges your fiat currency for Bitcoins. Fees are minimal, and this is the preferred method.
Do you prefer using PayPal ? You can use VirWox (https://www.virwox.com/) to buy SLL (Linden Dollars) and use these to buy Bitcoins. Fees can be as high as 40%.
Do you need to use another method ? Visit Get-Bitcoin (https://get-bitcoin.com/) and the Bitcoin Wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_bitcoins) for various options.
Do you reside in the US ? Use MtGox.
In the UK/EU ? Use Intersango.
Other ? If the above do not work, search for a local trader at TradeBitcoin (http://www.tradebitcoin.com/).
For general advice, visit the Silk Road Wiki (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) and search the forums.

Honestly, you don't want to rush into things. Do lots of research. I did a lot of researching for bitcoins, and lots of lurking on these forums before I even thought about trying to buy anything. Things have been going pretty smooth for me so far, but I was prepared. I've read lots of threads with people frustrated because they lost their coins, or did something retarded, all because they were in too big of a hurry to start purchasing. Just be patient and try to learn this stuff.
