I would recommend that you learn Snow Leopard and then upgrade. However, if you really feel the need, you only have to purchase the upgrade (unless you are eligible for the free upgrade), and once you have downloaded the app via the App store; you just run the program. Make a backup before running it as once you upgraded, the installer is deleted.
