Some of the advice you were already given is accurate, some of it is dangerous.
First, the basics. I think the standard method of controlling the hammer with your thumb is inadequate. So...
Wear eye and hearing protection, you only get one set of each and if this thing goes off when you are making it safe that's not going to do your eyes and ears any good.
Point the gun in a safe direction. Grasp the revolver over the cylinder and trigger guard with your off hand (left if you are right handed and I'll assume you are from here) keeping your fingers out of the trigger guard. Put your left thumb down against the front of the hammer. Take a normal grip with your right hand, finger OFF the trigger. Stick your right thumb on the hammer and put pressure on it so you know you have it under control. Squeeze the trigger gently (right thumb on hammer, left in front of hammer) until the hammer clicks forward. Take your finger off the trigger! Now lower the hammer the rest of the way, you'll have to move your left thumb at some point, but by then you'll be sure of your control of the hammer.
On a single action revolver the hammer will stop on the half co ck notch, on a revolver with a transfer bar or some other interlock it will bottom out but without allowing any contact with the firing pin.
So now unload the darn thing.
Revolvers like the Ruger GP-100 can't be unloaded whilst ******, there's an interlock that locks the cylinder in place. Keeping the trigger depressed whilst decocking defeats the trigger interlock on modern double action revolvers and makes the gun dangerous when it can be safe.

You can pull the hammer back a little farther back than it currently is and then pull the trigger all of the way with a very strong hold on the hammer and then slowly ease the hammer back into it's normal position. When you do this make sure to be pointing in a direction that if you accisentally let go of the hammerit will not kill anybody. To unload the gun simply move the tab right behind the chamber and pull the chamber out and take the shells out

Point it somewhere safe.
Put your thumb on the hammer and hold on good.
Press the trigger and lower the hammer down slowly.
Ask the gun manufacturer for an instruction manual, but generally:
To unload it, there's usually a thumb latch on the side.
Press that and the cylinder will flop out.
Hold the gun with the back tilted down slightly.
Press the ejector lever that pokes out of the middle of the cylinder
towards the back of the gun.
The shells should all fall out. Make sure that they do.
Loading it is the reverse of unloading it.

Depends on type of Revolver, on an old six-shooter, simply
pull out the long stem under barrel & flip out the cylinder, then
drop out all the bullets.
On a nine-milimeter, there is a slider type button or lever
on the grip close to the trigger. Push it with your thumb and
the clip should eject out of the bottom of grip. Remember their
is still one round left in the chamber. Thier should be another
flipper type button on one side of the barrel which releases
the barrel to slide open and eject the last round depending on
exact make & model of gun. If this does not help call your local
gun distributor and give him the name & model of exact one
he can walk you thru it in a less than a minute.

Step one. UNLOAD the gun.
Step two is up to you.
Please stop playing with firearms you know to be loaded. That is negligence. Its gives the rest of us a bad name.
Someone will show you everything you need to know to operate a revolver. But stop playing with it. You'll go blind.

Don't touch it....Get someone that knows what they are doing to take care of it. Then when it is unloaded learn how to uncock it.
Hold the hammer with your thumb, POINT THE GUN AT THE GROUND!!!, gently squeeze the trigger but do not let go of the hammer. ease the hammer back into place. Do not let it go until it is rested!!!
DON'T PLAY WITH GUNS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING....THIS IS WHY PEOPLE GET HURT....UNEDUCATION OF FIREARMS!!

Wow, The first answer said it all, if you are that unfamiliar with firearms you have NO business touching one. Kudos to you for being smart enough to ask for help though.

Do it carefully, You will have to uncock it. Pull back on the hammer and do not let go, then slowly bring it back so it is not ******.
