Replacing the cassette involves specialized tools. Your best bet is to visit a bike shop (a *shop* is where the employees ride and know bikes, rather than a *store* that just sells) and talk with them. They'll show you what you need, and describe the procedure if you want to spend the money on the tools.
Google bicycle shifting technique, for example:

The basics of shifting are these: 1) The big ring and right side of the cassette in back are for speed. 2) The small ring and the left side of the cassette are for high torque, lower speed 3) The middle ring works with all rear cogs. Avoid crossing left front to right rear and vice-cersa. It cause excess side loads on the chain.
