aye.
cubase is actually very simple. well the part of it thats easy. but you can get some bangin' tunes out of the simple part 
1. Get a good set of vsti imstruments and effects. I recommend Sampletank (with the choir ooh-aah add on as a MUST), ReFX Juno X2 for a bit of everything, Halion for sampling, and EnergyPRO for your lead lines and buildups. As for effects, if you got a pirated version you should have lotsa good effects. Some i like are Wunderverb, Karlette Delay, and not much else is good really  its also good to have Scorpion to make sure you dont overdrive.
~ To install vst's they should be an exe you then extract to C:/Audio/Vst and they should work with cubase.
~ To load them up, open cubase and make a new arrangement. Click panels on the menu bar and select Vst instruments. Then its just a case of choosing which you want from the dropdown list and clicking 'Edit' to um...edit as nesceserry . when you're happy, go onto the arrangement screen and make a new channel or select a blank one. Drag the movable bar accross till you can select outputs. Then click on the last one and select the instrument you wanted to use. Walla!
~ To load fx up, same as with instruments but to apply them, make a channel with your selected vst instrument on. click on panels - vst (or midi, cant remember) channel mixer. Find the channel (they should be named) and click "fx". there should be 8 knobs. One of em should have the name of your selected effect on, click on ON or something and turn the dial clockwise till its at about 5 o clock. If this is too much, turn it down a bit.
So...
To input notes, go to the arrangment screen. Right click on the textured area and select the pencil. When you've selected the vst on the channel, draw a box in the channel from 1 till 5 (the markers above it.) This is a 16 beat bar and this is gonna be used for the rest of your career, so GET USED TO IT!
Now double click on the box and you'll be presented with a lovely new screen with a keyboard along the side. Use the pencil tool again and input some notes. And from here, you should be putting out some banging tunes within months
Hope this helps, and DO read it because its written by me, my fingers are hurting now so im gonna stop. It should be helpful enough
