Welcome to Ask Ubuntu!

It's very simple actually, just follow this guide here. That'll tell you how to burn it to a disk.

As for creating a LiveUSB look here

Because of the fact the you are installing Ubuntu on a Win8 computer, there are a few things you have to do before the install because of some of the new Win8 features like EUFI and SecureBoot. Read this Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI question for some help on that.

Best of Luck!

This helped but I have got stuck on something else and couldn't complete it. – AsherM Sep 07 '13 at 00:46
