first you have to find that your idea is not yet invented by someone else . for this you can search the net or request a Academic Librarian or a professor in the relevant field . just be see that you are reinventing the wheel . you have to publish your idea with the complete details in a reputed journal [ not a magazine ] of the relevant field. you get feedback from experts & interested persons . depending on their encouragement you can proceed for the invention . you may need funds & you have to approach an indusrialist / funding organizations for this . After your invention is done with good results , you have to apply for the patent . you can know the procedure thru a scientist /a professor ...

yes , you can improve a already available product . if it is a minor improvement then you have to contact a leading manufacturer of that product . if it is a major improvement then you have to procede in developing your idea ...

what happens if the idea I have is to better a product that is already made. Do i still have to go through all of that or I cant better a product already on the market. I have researched for months online and I have not seen one thing on my idea

yes, you have to have a patent lawyer, because someone then could easily take your idea or invention. But make sure you have it all planned out etc.
