Rotating your object you could use

This

yRotation += Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(10, yRotation, 0);

or this

transform.RotateAround(Vector3.zero, Vector3.up, 20 * Time.deltaTime);

You would just have to make a script with one of these functions, and rewrite them to fit your purpose. Then find the object you wish to rotate, and attach the script.

Dependent on how much of a beginner you are. I would suggest taking a tutorial such as such as this beginners guide on TutsPlus. It is done in Javascript. In the long run, I would however suggest picking up C# as this is much less restrictive.

Enjoy.
