1) www.google.com
2) "how to roll a joint"
there'll be tons of pictorials, probably video demos too.

You should just eat the weed as it is. It will give a much fatter buzz than smoking ever could.

You dont want to use a cigarette because it'll burn to fast and it'll filter out a lot of THC.
You're better off going to the store and getting some rolling papers or a nice dutchmaster cigar for a blunt.
If the bud you have is really sticky you might want to use a bowl, pipe, or bong..
You can put as much weed in as you can fit

You should get some zig zags and not use a cig if you really want to "roll a joint". shred up your weed nicely and roll a fat one.
Do a few practice joints until you get the hang of it. have fun

chop up your bud, get a pack of papers, and start rolling. Nothing we can type will teach you how to.

You can use an emptied out cigarette - though you'll really be gaining no joint rolling skills in the process.. and I would advise against slicing the paper open and rolling with it, since there is no gum (adhesive) to make for a nice seal once you're done. That being said.. I don't think cigarette papers make good joints, even if you buy those little joint making machine that packs 'em for you all neat and clean. Go with hemp papers in the 1.25" size.
As for "the roach" - I believe you are inquiring about the crutch, which is essentially a filter, or something that keeps the last part of the joint free from marijuana, thereby promoting airflow and/or keeping the cherry from burning your fingers as it gets down low. A roach is in fact a slang term for a joint that has been mostly if not entirely smoked, leaving the resinous brown endpiece that people may smoke if they are desperate.
Most people I've seen tend to use a slice of business card or other fairly stiff paper product that is roughly 5 mm wide by 10 mm long (this will vary depending on your own preference and the size of the joint you are rolling). Myself, I say nuts to those cards, and just use regular paper, meticiulously zig-zagged into an accordian style spring, that will stay in the joint nicely due to the pressure from the accordian technique, and will also maintain excellent airflow while not allowing any of the finer ground pieces of marijuana to fall out. It looks something like this: /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ -- except that it is more curved than angled, to allow for better spring action. You'll only be able to do this if you have a steady hand and patience.

Yeah, I've emptied a cigarette before. It's a little harder than rolling it, but the filter's kinda nice and it works well when you're out of rolling paper.
Or you can put it in brownies and bake it. Smoking pot will let you absorb ~20% or less of the THC (I think some is degraded when it's burned, and a lot you just blow back out). Baking and eating it increases how much you absorb like 4-fold (~80%). It takes longer to hit you, but lasts a lot longer.

Dude you people need some serious education.
I thought they taught this shit in schools these days (looking at drug use stats ).
I'm suprised, but wikipedia has never dissapointed me yet 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong

Diagram of a carburetor waterbong. The bowl is fixed to the chamber. Once the pipe is full of smoke, release your finger from the hole on the back to inhale smoke. The water filters ash and cools smoke.
A "bucket"

Blue square are ice cubes. Use two identical containers for the top to hold ice near bowl. The smoke produced by gravity bongs is much hotter and thicker than the smoke from conventional bongs. The ice is optional but recommended.
and the good ole shottie 

Diagram of a sliding bowl waterbong (shottie). The bowl (black) is lifted out of the chamber after the pipe is full of smoke. Water filters the ash and cools the air.

Yeah a ciggie is fine. You can use a bit of cardboard or strong paper and roll it up to be a roach.

My bad guys, I posted that last one before heading out for a root canal..Little on edge.
Just get your weed, a pie plate or something that you can make a mess in and will catch your trailings, and start trying to roll joints. That's the only way you'll learn, read all you want but cmon, that's not the best way to do it.
If you roll one that sucks, rip it open, and try again. If I pick up a bag tonight, maybe I'll make a tek
