Nope.

There are some hacks to get apps compiled in windows onto a jailbroken phone, but I’m assuming that you are talking about the official iPhone SDK so that you can get an app in the app store, and for that you will unfortunately need a mac.

There’s a couple of cool tools for developing games that you can eventually copy to a mac and put on the iPhone, I talked about them on my blog here:

So you can use those to develop, then later using a mac, test on the iPhone and send to the app store.

I was wondering if there are any books or sites for someone to learn coding for the iPhone SDK, i have no experience with any form of coding so something that is for beginners. Thanks!

My advice: Start smaller than the iPhone. Objective-C (The language of the iPhone and Mac) is a bit complicated for a beginner. Try starting with Java, its pretty simple and there are tutorials on the internet. Once you master that, then you can move to harder things like Objective-C for the iPhone.
