Caltrain is the way to go. From San Jose, it's $13.50 round-trip. The seats are comfortable and surprisingly clean. And there are bicycle carriages on each train.
Once in San Francisco's 4th Street and King station, the N-Line light rail that will take you to Union Square (Powell Street station), Golden Gate Park (9th Street and Irving stop), or Ocean Beach (last stop). Otherwise, it's about a 30-40 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf along the Embarcadero.
The T-Line is the "ghetto train" to Bayview/Hunter's Point, and is of little interest to visitors.

you can take CalTrain from downtown San Jose to San Francisco. the end of the train in SF is south of market. from there you can take Muni Metro tram to downtown SF.
