    Go to Home Depot or Wal-Mart and look at the weather strip stuff. It all has instructions on the packaging. Peel and stick. Simple,

    Sounds like it's a hollow door. Hollow doors are good for the interior of the house, where you want the room temperatures to balance out, but they should not be used to external doors. If that's the case, the door should be replaced with a proper exterior door.

    Can you see any light coming in around the door or casing?

    If so, you just need a little weather stripping.
