In what way? Creating and editing sounds? Playing it in a certain style? Need the info before help can be given sorry! Reading the manual is a good place to start and to play about with the synth first.

Try this:

http://www.noisesculpture.com/htman.html

It focuses on softsynths but most of it can be applied to the MS2000 or MicroKorg.

Get the refills too, particularly the one about drums and percussions, it's quite useful.

If it's a microkorg you're using, then you can download some free block diagrams which show how it's all connected together. They don't tell you how to program it, but they show what functional units it contains and how they connect to each other; all squeezed onto 3 A4 sheets.
They're not for everyone, but can help to bridge the gap between knowing what you want to do, and how to actually implement it on the machine.
Look for 'SyDs' under Freebies on www.philizound.co.uk
