I agree with your statement that there is a job for everyone when it come to FOSS.
web site maintenance, documentation, support are three ways every user can contribute back.
Some of the jobs that come to mind are, spell checking and use of proper English.. there are a large number of hackers from non English speaking countries tho most projects use English as there primary language.
You can join a discussion list and see what the most FAQ's are.. and then write a new or keep there FAQ up to date. do spelling and grammar checks on technical documentation.
There is always a need for more people to help with support on IRC or discussion list. If you know something and some one else doesn't then you can indeed help...

"If I would be able to wirte C++ and other programming languages, this would be the first project I wanted to help. But unfortunatly I can't. So I hope this project will be the future for very very much PC Users."
As they say, no matter whether you thing you can or you think you can't, you're right. You don't need any fancy education to learn to program. If you buy a few used texts on Amazon and fill in the rest with Google, you can teach yourself anything for less than $100.
Hoping and wishing is for suckers. I've always found that _doing_ is the only way to (reliably) affect the future.
