flyboy,
I don't think you can actually possess a pilots license until you are at least 16, but you can take lessons. Just go to your local airport and ask around for a flight instructor, or CFI (Certified Flight Instructor). Then, once you found him, you'll have to make arrangements to pay him for his time. You'll have to rent or borrow a plane in which to take instruction. You will record all of your flight hours with the instructor in a logbook. You must keep your logbook up to date on all flights you take with your instructor. Don't log time you fly with a friend who is not your official flight instructor. When you are the right age, you can take the written private pilot exam and the check-ride by a certified FAA Examiner.
To start, just ask around for a CFI. If you can't find one, look one up in the yellow pages under Aircraft training or Flight Training. The CFI will cost you, though, anywhere from $20 to $40/hour for his time teaching you. But, you have plenty of time to stretch out your training and pay for it slowly. You can start by buying one of the flight instruction books that are used to prepare for the written exam, too. Look for one at a pilot's shop, or ask an instructor for one.
Good luck.
