If you don't have any outboard music gear (IE instruments) then your best starting point is gonna be s/w such as Rebirth or Reason. These are all-in-one music programs that will enable you to compose your own tunes.

Alternatively if you're interested in samples and loops, you should check out Acid from Sonic Foundry. This is a brilliant program which allows you to build up a track using samples & loops. It syncronizes the loops automatically so they all play in time!
