Use the latest version of DirectX (9.0b). If you want to develop with DX you'll need the DX SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=124552ff-8363-47fd-8f3b-36c226e04c85&displaylang=en).
It includes the normal runtime version, so you can use it for developing AND gaming. If you install it, you should install the debug version.

If you used the internet setup the setup files may be located in a temporary folder (a hidden folder called "temp", sub-folder "DirectX 9.0") or in a folder you specified.

How to use it? --> Install it.
Where to get it? --> Use the link above or search on www.microsoft.com

Check the Forum FAQ, specifically the How do I get started? and Further reading sections (you'll find links to tutorial sites. I'd start with Drunken Hyena's or something.
