How would I go about making an object spin constantly on its Y axis?

Use transform.Rotate in Update.

In noob terms, please? I don't do much scripting, so how exactly would I use that, and how would I change the speed?

Please read the docs, they have code examples which in this case do exactly what you're asking for. (Well, almost--just multiply by a speed variable.)

Just for the sake of it, here’s a simple script that will spin an object around on its y-axis.

#pragma strict

var rotationSpeed : float = 360f; // Speed, in degrees per second

function Update () {
    transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
