How and where can i learn it, is there someone who wants to take their time and teach?

You would need to use a custom component which modifies the blocks state

HCF Removal and Custom Components

The Holiday Creator Features experimental toggle has been removed. Along with it includes JSON block and item events. This functionality has been replaced with custom components.

Please take a look at the following links to learn more about custom components:

Bedrock Wiki

• Block Events
• Block Events Migration to Custom Components
• Item Events
• Item Events Migration to Custom Components

MS Docs

• Introduction To Custom Components
• Building With Custom Components

Those pages should explain what you need for custom components

Here's the specific custom component you'd need to use:

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-events#player-interact

And here's how you set a block state with them:

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-event-migration#set-block-state

Let me know if you need any more help after reading that!

import { world, BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent } from "@minecraft/server";
import { BlockStateSuperset } from "@minecraft/vanilla-data";

const LIGHT_CONTROL_COMPONENT = "mkt:light_control_simple";
const LIGHT_CONTROL_STATE = "mkt:light_is_on";

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe((ievent) => {
  ievent.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent(LIGHT_CONTROL_COMPONENT, {
    onPlayerInteract: (event: BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent) => {
      let block = event.block;
      const perm = block.permutation;
      const light_is_on = perm.getState(LIGHT_CONTROL_STATE as keyof BlockStateSuperset);
      block.setPermutation(perm.withState(LIGHT_CONTROL_STATE as keyof BlockStateSuperset, !light_is_on));
    },
  });
});

this basic script will work (thats in "ts" - remove types for "js" version)

then permutaions for light_is_on 0: light = 0 1: light=14
