Unfortunately there's no instant-noodle courses which can teach you crack a software within a few minutes. It takes plenty of time to learn cracking.

Unfortunately again I don't have enough time to teach you how to crack one-on-one either (but I will reconsider if you pay me or donate to support us to open a private class for you ) - kidding.

Here's a complete course for people who want to learn cracking:

You will be qualified as a beginner cracker upon completion.

Q: How can I become an advanced cracker?
A: Get some hands-on experiences. Go crack some difficult software. Learn through the process.

No need to know C++ or anything else.

You need to know some slight assembly language and how inner processor works, like registers and flags.
Also some Hex number notation is useful to know.

Unfortunately there isn't an instant-noodle approach to learn how to read/crack a DLL. Again read the tutorials and you will be able to do it eventually.

Good luck.

I heared OllyDbg could read/load process of DLL which we want to crack.

Yes, Ollydebug can load .dlls,.ocx,and other hex libraries as well.
You just need to have a starting .exe and then tell Olly to breakpoint in the .dll code instead, and for that you need to tell Olly also to load the .dll when the .exe starts.
Get the free Lena tutorials in the cracking forum from tuts4you.com and learn how to use Olly from them. I learned with those videos.
