Do u mean lighting or lightning ??
Of course OGL doesn't have any lightning functions..
For lighting it depends a lot on what kind of result you want to achieve.
Just set the right light/material parameters and siwthc on light with glEnable(GL_LIGHTING)
Try searching for glLight and glMaterial specs.

Formore advanced results better to use per pixel lighting and vertex/fragment programs, but this is a more "advanced" feature.

Try the FAQ (http://www.opengl.org/developers/faqs/technical.html#indx0180) or a basic OpenGL book, like the Programmers Guide (aka Red Book) or SuperBible.
