yup... then it's not called stock options (just giving you the lingo) you need to open a trading account. your financial instituion can have online trading services or deal with Etrade and those other one(not familiar with american online traders sorry). then it's fairly simple...
Things to look at before choosing your online trading service:
-trading fees (how much does each transaction cost)
-minimum monthly trades, carefull with that one cause if you have 2K to invest there is not way you'll be able to make 20 per month
-fees to pullout your money
-fees to deposit money
-wire tranfer minimums
-easyness of transfering fund from you bank account to the trading account.
