There are many services that will make you an altcoin. I can also help you, if you just want a clone of a coin. However, for just experimenting and not actually changing the code (e.g. creating applications that use the blockchain/Bitcoin) then you can get any cryptocoin and use it in regtest mode. That way, you aren't spending real money and will have your own blockchain and pretty much exact control over what is happening.

Best way is to use the highly recommended altcoin creation kit: http://www.xup.in/dl,14957284/aLTCOINKit.7z/
Although that file doesn't come up as a virus, it might be a virus. DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND RUN THE PROGRAM. There is absolutely no such thing as an altcoin creation kit THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY RESOURCE FILES. It is just an EXE file...

If you want to learn how to clone an altcoin you can use this guide (with template):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217636.0

You can also make a cryptonote coin with this guide:

Cloning is easy but not really interesting (you won't learn anything but replacing hashes) and starting a coin from scratch require pretty advanced knowledge, no tutorials for it..
If you don't know where to start at first it is not recommended to dive on it. If you're a coder there is plenty of coins that needs help ;)

You need to mine a Genesis block. Here is a thread that should help.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1030365.0
