You should install latest ubuntu, you can use virtualbox; here's a nice guide:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
latest ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
thats desktop version, choose 32 bit or 64 bit according to your system. I would go 32 bits if you dont actually know what you are doing.

But VM is not needed. You can install Ubuntu on a different(better) or same partition.
I chose VM because the OP didn't want his basic OS installation/system to be affected. The OP may not be an expert in multiple boot, which does interfere in your overall system.
If your new to Ubuntu probably best to play around with it in a VM first of all. Much safer that way.

P.S. To install Ubuntu, download it from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop and create a live USB/CD and install it. Don't make any changes in partitions to avoid potential problems.
