Learn computer programming. Get yourself familiar in-depth with object oriented programming languages.
Keep in mind however that hackers are essentially culprits if they utilize they skills for evil rather than good.

Hackers are not geniuses!!! They are troublemakers with too much time on their hands. They are malicious people who do very mean, illegal and nasty things to businesses and individuals. They have computer knowledge and no class. Most of the geniuses in our history have been humble, kind people who want to make the world a better place. To me, hackers are no better than rapists and murderers.

Hacking is usually driven by curiosity and patience, and just requires some inside knowledge on the workings of computer systems. Hackers can't all be geniuses, or we wouldn't keep seeing them getting arrested.

Hackers are usually "script kiddies", young computer users that have gone to UNDERNET user groups and taken pre-made scripts to cause mischeif. 99% of the time, people that call themselves "hackers" are unable to write what programmers call "sexy" code; that is, they take pieces of code they find online and paste it together.
The 1% that actually does any type of damage are classically trained computer scientists that have gone astray.
In my opinion, it is much more impressive to become a "White Hat" than a "hacker". White Hats work to find security holes in software and hardware, then report their findings to the community in organized, formal fashions.
Hackers are children. White Hats are the pros.

Ofcourse Not.
Hacking is not bad either. It's a process of Understanding Sys Concepts in Depth. If Used in Right way, Hacking can help most of us in many ways.
Even the concept of Antihacking is based on Hacking.
