I would first of all discourage you from doing this. Judaism is a fine faith with good and decent adherents. I was raised Christian and in my teens spent many years studying in an orthodox Jewish community. I have recently come back to Christ for a great variety of reasons: family traditions, judaism's difficulty, love of Christ, etc...in other words Christ reached me deeply and I couldn't resist the pull of the Truth.
If you convert it depends on your prefered denomination. Reformed is very, very Episcopalian-style liberal and has become so secularized and detached from Torah law. The Conservatives recently voted to allow gay marriage and most Conservatives has left the religious fold. The Orthodox are the traditionalists but that lifestyle is tough--kosher, sabbath observance, modesty of dress, etc....
You need to get in touch with a synagogue's rabbi and arrange a visit. Be forewarned that Orthodox don't encourage conversion and Torah law requires a rabbi to turn away prospective converts at least 3 times to verify your sincerity. After you visit you can enlist in some conversion classes and go from there.
Again, I'd see if you can't find what you're looking for in Christianity (which is soooo big of a world). Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from judaism (law, traditions, liturgy, ethnic ties, etc.).

It depends on how religious you plan on being, but you should start out by going to a local rabbi and talking to him. If you only want to participate with reform or reconstructionist Judaism, usually you only have to spend a certain amount of time studying with a rabbi and then going through some sort of ceremony. More conservative or orthodox rabbis would require you to go to a michvah where you would have to "cleanse" your body although I've heard they can be quite unclean.

The first thing to do is that you have to cross the red sea walking from Egypt all the way to Arabia. Whenever you got to Arabia I'll let you know what to do then ;) ...and o yea... I hope you're ready to have your penis cut ... I wouldn't wanna know how that would feel like =/

If you are a men, you have to undergo circumcision, study the Torah and eat kosher. Also, you have to attend Beit Din, where a rabbinical congregation will judge whether or not you will become a Jew.

You'd have to pay half a mil like Madonna did.
Ok not really. I'm not sure. But paying half a mil sounds like the easiest.
