Most modern phones just use MP3s as ringtones. So you don't need to convert it, you just need to get it on your phone. How easy this is depends on what kind of phone you have.
I use Audacity to edit MP3s on my computer to the length I want, and add fade-in/out, then export as MP3, and then drag and drop it onto my phone's SD card. If you have a phone that has a cable that allows your computer to access its storage, that's easy. If you have a SD card reader with microSD (probably what your phone takes), that can also be easy if you find the right folder on it.
Or, you can email it to your phone number as an attachment, and it will send as an MMS message. You just have to know the format for the email address, which depends on your carrier.
