sounds like a few tutorials are in order. but gradient changes are easy. make a shape, a simple square is fine. then select your swatches toolbar. you'll probably have a gradient there, so click on the gradient fill. now, you have a toolbar called gradient, so find/open that (window -> gradient). that should show your the gradient you're using, now just drag and drop colours from your colour swatches onto that gradient to change the colours.
you can also change the gradient from liniar to radial on that toolbar. finally, you can fine-tune the gradient with the tool on your main drawing toolbar. select the gradient icon (a box with a fade going through it) and drag a line over your shape - this should allow you to customise the way the gradient looks in your shape.
hope that helps.
