.emacs is evaluated as an Emacs Lisp program, so you have to know
at least basic Lisp in order to read or modify it. There's basic
information on this in the Emacs manual under node "Init File".

(set-default 'fill-column 65)
Or if you only want this to happen in, say, mail buffers, you
could use something like
(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook '(lambda () (setq fill-column 65)))
