Well, you can do editing in Quicktime but I wouldn't attempt anything fancy. Others can recommend better apps such as GarageBand which has a lot more features. Generally with Quicktime you can trim junk off the beginning or end fairly easily. Load up your clip and then choose Trim from the Edit menu (or hit Command-T). That puts you in the editor where you can navigate to the "multiple indicators timeline". Interact with that and you'll find two draggable indicators for start time and end time. You can jump between those with VO-Up and VO-Down. To change the value of either one you interact with it and then VO-Left or VO-right. Plain old home and end moves the play head to either end of what you have left. Once you have the positions where you want them stop interacting with the timeline (you will have to VO-shift-up twice) find the trim button and action that. Escape will take you out of edit and all that's left is what you didn't trim. Then you can choose iTunes from the Share menu to dump your trimmed audio into iTunes to do whatever you like with it.

Chris,
I've just figured out how to make a recording, but when I try and edit it 
delete, undo, etc. all my edit options are dimmed.
Do I need to change any settings in quicktime?

That's pretty broad. The simplest thing would be to use the built-in mic of 
your mac and choose New Audio Recording from the QuickTime Player menu. Beyond 
that it depends on what kind of recording you want to make and at what level of 
quality.

Is there a way to record a note or singing?  How might I do that?
