or where could I ask for help,

Fortunately there's a lot of good information and tutorials online to help you do that. Parallax maintains a site for just that purpose:

The reason I suggest starting small is that initial success will motivate you to tackle harder problems. But if you first try to tackle a hard problem and fail, then you might get discouraged.
STOP! If you're really a beginner, do it right! Start with a BASIC Stamp. Get the What's a Microcontroller kit and learn everything the right way.
That's not a motor, it's an R/C servo.

As Erco said, this will get you started and it comes with a servo and buttons.

Here is the W.A.M. text that comes in the kit.

Servos are in Chapter 4 (page 93)
Activity #6 (Page 129) sounds like what you want to do.
There should be a sale soon so keep checking the main Parallax page.

The StampWorks text has more advanced examples.

I would take all your advices, and start to learn step by step!
