No ... just start writing.
I've been writing for about 11 years now. For me, it took years of practice, rejection letters, and a lot of reading to gain the experience I needed. To be a writer, you have to write. However, there are some things you can do to help get you started:
1) Write what you know.
2) Be diligent about spell-checking and correct grammar.
3) Submit your work as often as possible.
4) Don't expect to earn a lot of money right off the bat.
5) Invest in books like Writers' Market to get the inside knowledge and which publications are accepting submissions and pay particular attention to the way in which these publications will accept your submissions. For example, not everyone will accept an email submission.
If you're interested in giving writing a try, join me at Factoidz, a place where you can submit articles and get paid for your work.

Do you need an agent to get a book published?
There is no definite need of an agent to publish a book.

Where can you get it published?
Depends what the 'it' is. The 'it' you mean is probably a book, which in most cases you need an agent to talk to a publisher, or they won't look at your work. You can pay to self publish with companies like AuthorHouse, who published the well known book 'Legally Blonde'
