How do people learn to hack computers and stuff?

Let me give you an example: My friends uncle is some sort of tech guy (also a hacker) and has successfully somehow used an Iphone 5 body and uploaded an android 4g software onto it. He has not bought movies or music for 10 years. He can access someone's password protected Wi-Fi just on his phone. I don't get how people learn this stuff! Is there a class i can take? Lol

Lot of years studying computer science followed by a lot of years experimenting.

All those things can be done with software (possibly slightly almost-illegal software) made by very clever people. They take a bit of technical knowledge to use such software. If your friend's uncle is getting onto protected Wi-Fi networks without using software made by someone else, then he is a very clever person (it takes more than just a few classes to become that clever!).To try those sort of things just google "run android 4g on iphone 5".It might not be easy though.
