Stefan,

Firstly get hold of MPLAB (microchips' free development tools section on
their website www.microchip.com), which allows you to write assembly
programs for PICs.  Get hold of a programmer (buy one or build one of the
numerour Tait-style programmers - schematics available on the web).  That
should allow you to start playing with the PIC16F84, which is flash
programmable (don't need a UV eraser).
