hmm.. this is a non trivial question and as such will take a whole long while to answer... so I will try and mostly skim through stuff and you need to dig further.
A software is not just a program. Its a well designed solution to some frequently occuring requirement.
It is also well tested and handles most unexpected situations gracefully.
It creates a detailed log of all events that occurred.
It has an intuitive interface that helps both newbies and experts to use it
It comes with detailed documentation on how to use it.
So I can suggest the following for creating software.
- Learn atleast 1 programming language in which you can get serious amount of coding done
- Learn atleast one good scipting language
- Learn more about the OS(es) in which you intend to run the software
- Understand most common development cycle methodologies and choose one that works out the most effectively for you
- Document all design decisions, and make detailed help pages
Basically, check if you can undergo a course on software engineering somewhere. You can pretty much learn coding yourself, but most folks dont seem to get around to learning software engineering by themselves. However, I would recommend one book which I personally found very useful.
Code Complete. http://cc2e.com/
Now begin to think of writing software!
Hope, this helps!

Pick a programming language (there are a ton of them) and write something. *POOF* you have software.
