[1] learn to do it yourself
[2] take it to a fellow geek
As far as [1] is concerned, Partition Magic/Boot is the easiest way, but
costs money.
Depending on what you have to trade, [2] may or may not cost you. If you
can figure out how to resize and/or move a Windows partition, or you
have a second disk in your computer, then create space for a Linux
system, install LILO or GRUB in the MBR, and add an extry to chain back
to Windows.
You need to specify:
[0] What is your general level of expertise?
[1] how quickly do you want it done?
[2] how much are you willing to spend?
[3] what other goodies do you have to barter with?
Jason's suggestion of a LUG meeting is a good one, but bring along some
goodies to trade :)
