Where do I begin?

Think of something you want to change. Start small.

See how they did it originally, or how other modders have done it.

Apply what you have learned.

I just want to start off small and make a new hair style. I have no idea where I would even begin. This' pretty much like learning a new language without any help whatsoever.. ._.

Starting off "small" means things which don't require new meshes and textures... It may not necessarily interest you, or create anything useful, but through the course of it you can become familiar with the tools and resources available and figure out how they work.

So something small would be over/underpowering a gun and making it shoot mininukes and put it in a crate in the beginning of the game?(AKA pretty much what everyone else is doing) ?

I'm just getting started into modding as well and my first little project is retexturing some hats. :)

Showoff :(

 

Whenever I open the G.E.C.K. there's just nothing in there, nothing in any of the catagories. Unlike the Fallout 3 GECK which everything was available for viewing pleasure..

I'm not getting much progress lol its 90 degrees on the shoulder instead of on the head.

But I'll try to help you with the GECK. Can you take a screenshot of the GECK fully opened?

Yep, pretty much, doesn't mean you should bother uploading it though. The idea is primarily to get you familiar with how things are situated in the geck, how to edit and make forms, some light scripting, and knowing how to assign up models, textures and other resources. It's so freaking common because all those people are just starting themselves.
