The answer depends on what you want to do with UUI. I assume you are are planning to use it to create a bootable USB stick for Ubuntu installation. In this case, there's a guide at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows with step-by-step instructions.
On the same page (and on any other subpage of ubuntu.com) you'll find a big download button in the orange menu-bar at the top. Download the DVD image of the Ubuntu version you'd like.
A .iso file is a premastered CD or DVD disk image (more precisely, it's a file containing an ISO 9600 filesystem). These can either be burnt to an optical medium using any CD/DVD writing software, or read directly to access the contained files (you can think of it as being similar to unzipping a .zip file, although it's technically different). UUI extracts the files within the .iso to a USB drive and then installs a bootloader on the USB drive, in order to allow you to boot from it.
