Blockchains
You probably heard of "Centralized" Exchanges, and the "Blockchain" with "Defi" and "Decentralized" Exchanges.
The Best way to and from Blockchains for your crypto, would be without any doubt a "Centralized" Exchange that offers a way to send crypto you buy in the exchange to the Blockchain of your choice.
Once you got your crypto on the blockchain, you have the possibility to experience and interact with "Defi" (Decentralized Finance). Good or bad, better or worse than what's offered in your Centralized Exchange, I leave form you to decide.
One of the worlds top Exchanges would be Binance, that has a way to transfer crypto bought to almost every blockchain out there.
Of course you will need an Address to send it to, that you control. And this could be achieved thru for example installing meta mask in your web browser, once installed, simply just copy the address, and place it in the "Withdraw to" field, and start your Withdrawal.
Now if all goes well, you will have your crypto in MATIC on Polygon. And you can start interact with the blockchain making transactions.
You will however discover pretty soon, that the go to place to know about your "Account" wont be your Metamask wallet, but instead the invaluable "polygonscan.com".
Here you can enter your Account "Address" and see all information you need, the "tokens" you own and the transactions you have made.
Polygonscan.com is really the go to place for the ultimate knowledge about your account, Metamask is just a tool you use to in order to transact on Polygon. Metamask keep your keys, and signs the transactions for you with them.
