Look at this list to find a mirror near your location, you will get a 
better download speed:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

Download the i386 version iso image:

6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

Burn it on CD using the "Create CD from ISO image" or similar option on 
your windows CD recording program.
Adjust your BIOS to boot from CD, then reboot

Read and follow the FreeBSD handbook carefully, particularly the 
installation chapter:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

If you have no previous Unix or Linux experience, be patient and 
prepared to learn a lot of new stuff.
