Download the .exe you want.

Right click it and run with "Wine windows program loader"

Easy

anything you look at in ubuntu that has .exe you can right click it and it asks if you want to use wine to open it.

there is a help forum on the wine site, however most stuff in wine is self explanatory. but a bit of reading is required.
