So, I've been wanting to change some values in my stock ECU and in the meantime learn a little bit about tuning, but I know nothing of the basic things that I need to start.
what is the best program to start tuning the ECU? And what should I buy in regards to the obd2 interface and equipment? (I have a laptop to work on obviously)

I could be wrong as this is not my area of expertise but the stock ECU is not readily tuned. That would require something like a Haltec or Link or similar standalone unit. There may be specialist outfits that have cracked the factory one for some parameters but I'm not aware of it being a DIY option?

Lambert is correct the standard ecu is what it is 
You can get numerous stand alones
Easiest way to gain power is from an engine swap to M16A

So what you're saying is, it's not certain whether I can unlock the stock ECU?
if that's the case do you know any cheap aftermarket ones that I could use?
