Reading and Writeing Process Memory

I figured out how to read and write to the process memory and want to learn more about it.
How do I create my own chunk of memory to do stuff with?
I don't need 5MB of memory. Just enough to create my population game using bytes.
I'm a novice when it comes to ASM stuff.


I also need to know how many bytes equal to what.
So far I found that this is what each variable represents.
Long = 4 bytes
Integer = 2 bytes
Byte = 1 byte
Float = 4 bytes
A Float in vb is a 'Single'.

Any information on ASM would be helpful. Thanks.
