Long answer made short: * learn what asm is (short for assembly code) * learn how to reverse engineer (get the assembly code of a program, a debugger is most commonly used) * learn a programming language basics (mainly how to read and write to memory) You can then reverse your program, find what you need to change, and create an external program to edit the part you wish to change. (otherwise known as memory hacking, or mem hacks) to crack, its the same, reverse, locate, however, you then have to permantly change part of the program. this is often done to bypass serial codes. a JE is changed to JNZ, or simply JMP.
