ahhh.. yes... young dubsteppa... sorry, don't use those apps, but I came across this the other day and it seems to be pretty generic.
14... shit.. that's a helluva jumpstart.. your likely to be killin it by the time your 18.

a lot of it's trial and error - i remember starting on it when i was 14/15, and not having a clue about what to do...but you gradually pick it up, just takes time

it's hard to describe on the net
either find someone in your area who knows and can show you in person, or just mess around with it and check the songs that came with the program so you can see what they did

if yer legal check the video tutorials on the website, they'll show you how to use the software, if not ask specific questions and you should get answers.
basiclly tho dubstep is around 140bpm, with a lot of halfstep stuff about (ie the tunes at 140 but the bassdrum/snare pattern is at 70bpm).
pay more attention to the bass than anything, put subtle reverb on the drums, percussion and fx, but make sure that your making stuff that YOU want to listen to, and that you have fun making it!
theres loadsa tips here already, plus a lot of stuff that holds true to dubstep holds true to dnb, so maybe check some dnb boards for production tips as well.

in most audio programs 'bounce' and 'export' are the most common terms (usually found under the 'file' or 'audio' menus) for generating a file of the song you're working on. I don't use a pc anymore and don't have fruity loops, but from what I remember it should be something like that.
good luck
