There are two types of publishing: Tradition and Self-Publishing. You will first need to decide which of these methods you want to pursue. Each has advantages and disadvantages that need to be researched. For instance, traditional publishing can be a very long road, littered with MANY rejections. Self-publishing will guarantee you a printed copy of your book, however you will not see it in a brick-and-mortar bookstore.
http://www.lulu.com is, in my opinion, the best self-publisher around. You can set up your book on their website, for free, and they will print copies as they are purchased. They do not edit your book, so you will need to take care of that on your own. This will also NOT get your book in a traditional bookstore, although you can purchase a very affordable package that would allow sale of your book through online bookstores like Amazon.
"Writer's Market", along with "The Guide to Literary Agents" are my two suggestions for diving into the traditional publishing market. I suggest looking for an agent first because they are the best step through the publishing door. You will create a submission package that matches the agents preferences (some, for instance, just want a query letter and summary in your first contact with them while others want more). Once you find an agent that is willing to represent you, they will market your book to publishers. Remember, in traditional publishing you should not be paying for anything! They get paid when you get paid!
I am concerned about the grammar and spelling issue-- make sure that your novel is editted well before you even consider submitting it to publishers or agents. They won't take anyone seriously who uses the word "writed" instead of "wrote".

There are publishers that will publish your book, but you have to pay for it up-front. And you will find it very hard to sell any copies without a big distributor to back you.
Before doing any of that, I might suggest you get an editor to go over your writing and make it as presentable as possible, that also will be at your expense.

As your grasp of the English language is rudimentary, I'm sure you won't be able to be published. Unless, of course, it's in another language in which you are proficient.

Not if the grammar is anything like the grammar in your question.
