The best "free" programming tool you will find is probably java... but "a program" is sort of vague, so it depends heavily on what sort of application you wish to create.
More details may make giving a more complete answer easier.
Best of luck :)

On Windows I'd recommend Borlandś free Delphi IDE "Turbo Delphi Explorer" http://www.turboexplorer.com/delphi
It's perfect for beginners and hobbyists to learn programming and developing applications using Object Pascal.
Obeject Pascal is very suitable for beginners, because of itś syntax, it's readabilty and it's exactitude. In comparison, Visual Basic is imprecise, hoaky, churning and will make you bad programmer.

Find an operating enviroment.
In windows you can use the command prompt to write an ASM (assembly launguage) program.
If you know a language it's only a matter of finding the enviroment to code and compile in.
Also, spelling and syntax would really help. ^.^;
