You need to understand the basics of the Java Card technology first. Check out the information on the net. A good start would be to get Sun's Java Card Kit for Applet development (e.g. one in the tutorial).
Second step would be to have a look at the GlobalPlatform specification. It is about card content and security management.
To see your Applet in action you need hardware: smart card and a reader. Another possibility is to run on an emulator (quite expensive) or a simulation in software.
Personally I would suggest IBM JCOP (Java Card Open Platform) Tools. It is an Eclipse plugin, so you get the full IDE functionality, including a good debugger plus a simulator.
Two ways to get JCOP Tools:
1. IBM (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=722788&tstart=0)
a) Download the plugin at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/dw/jcop/tools.zip
b-1) Contact the Software Group in Boeblingen, Germany, for an activation code: scard@de.ibm.com (should be free)
b-2) You can activate the tools with a JCOP card
2. NXP Semiconductors customer
a) Latest JCOP Tools version
b) SmartMX targetpack plugin: includes simulations for all JCOP versions
