The basic idea is:

1) Purchase BTC from an exchange service.  What service you use can be *highly* dependent on where you are -- what continent, city or rural -- and what payment method -- cash in the mail, cash at a bank, money order, credit card, prepaid card, wire transfer -- you'd prefer to use.  (It would help us advise you further if you're comfortable mentioning some of those details.)

2) Optionally, depending on your purchase method and anonymity requirements, transfer the BTC to a site -- an online instant wallet or tumbling service -- that will remove any connection between your identity and the particular coins you purchased.  (Some people use multiple sites sequentially while others skip this step altogether.)

3) Transfer the BTC to their destination, be that to Silk Road or to a wallet on your own system for spending later.  (Be aware that BTC tend to fluctuate widely in value, so holding on to them for later may result in a change in their value.)
