I need to convert it into a wave that is 8000ht

From the Audio CD Input screen click on the downward arrow next to the "Rip" button. From the menu that appears, select "Convert To" and from the menu select "Wav". Click on the downward pointing arrow next to the Rip button again and select "Conversion Settings". From there you can select your frequency (8000 hz) and channels (1. mono).

I need just part of this song or would like to select a specific part of this song to play as a ring tone (25 seconds)

For this you will need something else. Easiest would be to download and install the Power Pack (free 30 day trial, $19.00 for registered version). With this your best bet would be to open your cd in Audio CD Input, set your conversion settings as outlined above and then click on "Rip as One". The red bar on the left side of the screen shows the active part of the cd that you will be ripping. You can use the preview play function to find the section you want to record. You will use your left mouse button to set your starting point and you right mouse button to select your ending point. Uncheck the box that says "Snap to track". Use your preview play to make sure you have your start and end points where you want them. Give your track a name and then click on the Rip button.

Another way to do this would be to rip the track you want as outlined above and to use a wav editing program to delete those parts of the track you do not want in your ring tone. If you do not already have access to a wav editing program you might want to try Audacity which you can download for free at:
