Your either not pushing down hard enough (not Hulk style, just so that the string touches the fret wire,) your fretting directly over the fret wire, or your trying to play a chord and one or more of your other fingers and touching the strings that your trying to play. MY geuss would be the last one in that, thats the most common. One you build up calluses and stregth, that will stop being a problem.

The actual "fret" is the little metal strip, not the gap between them. You want to try to press down as close to the front (right towards the bridge, not left towards the neck). Don't touch it really, but get close to is, and as elklandercc mentioned, make sure you aren't muting the string by touching it with any other fingers.

depends on the type of guitar you've got, but if you're inexperienced I'd suggest to let a professional set it up for you
you don't want to mess around too much with your guitar, especially when you just started playing or just bought it
on the other hand, there's only one way to learn, but if you do make sure the guitar is replacable
good luck

Are you sure you need to raise the bridge? Do the strings buzz when played 'open' (no fingers on frets)...?

If the strings are buzzing I wouldnt jump to raising the bridge. First off if the string is buzzing when you have the note freted then you are probablly not pushing down hard enough, or your finger isnt close enough to the back of the fret it should be. If the strings are buzzing when they are played open, make sure that the guitar is tuned correctly, and if it is then you may need to raise the bridge.

it may be worth mentioning that if this is a new guitar and thereby has new strings on it, they may just be getting stretched out. New strings stretch fairly quick and buzz until they're "broken in". Do you find yourself tuning the guitar a lot?
Chances are that one of the answers above is the right one, but I remember when I first started playing guitar I was mad because my strings were buzzing (acoustic), but after playing for a few days, it was gone.

Just out of curiosity, what is the space between the frets called? is it just fret board?

Through the years I've seen people refer the metal strip as a fret and I've heard them refer to it as a "fret wire" also.
Now is a "fret wire" called a "fret wire" until it is applied to the fretboard where it becomes know as a fret ... I really don't know.
Wikipedia says it's the metal strip is what we call the fret.
