I used to suck with a soldering iron, but if it's something that interests you, just give it a shot. If you're deathly afraid of making mistakes, get a desoldering iron. If you mess up just suck the solder up, reapply a bit of flux as necessary, and try again.

I recommend the Engineer SS-02 solder sucker. Way cheaper than a proper desoldering iron, way more effective than a cheap Chinese one.
