If you type "dual boot windows 8 linux" into a search engine there are a host of articles who'll guide you. This one worked for me:
http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2013/09/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-windows.html
To make the live USB, I used LinuxLive USB Creator, though there are others to choose from too.
Then, in step 4 of the instructions in the article, to turn of the secure boot I found it under the "advanced" tab, inside "boot settings". Note though that this is different for different setups.
Good luck!
