Do it yourself. Saying you don't know anything about cars is not a legit excuse. Like anything else, you learn by doing. Watch a video or check manuals. There are zillions of video to do just about anything on any car. It might not be the exact car you have, but it should be close.
There are two basic ways to change a bulb. One is from the outside, where you remove the plastic cover ( probably held on with screws ). The other is from the inside of the trunk. The bulb itself does not screw in like a light bulb in a house. You push it in against a spring and twist it until it seats.
Some parts stores might install it for free if you buy the bulbs there. Go at a time when it's not crowded. If you have them do it, watch how they do it so you can do it yourself next time.
If you do it yourself, the only thing I would caution you about it don't over tighten the screws that hold the plastic cover on. You can crack it by over tightening.
This is something you CAN do yourself. Once you start doing things, you'll get more confidence to do more. It can give you a lot of satisfaction and save you a bundle of money over your lifetime.
Oh yea. It might not be a bad bulb. There are other things that can cause a light to go out, but the bulb itself is the most likely. It's cheap and easy to do, so it's a good place to start.

Find your cars hand book or get hold of a Haynes manual to find out what bulb you'll need and what tools (usually a Phillips screwdriver) for you car and do it yourself it is a simple job and it'll cost a damn sight less than going into an Auto Shop, you'll probably find that it is the same bulb for front and back so buy two and keep the spare in you glove-box along with the tools you need just in case you loose another one.
