You should not have to change the grates for many, many years. The grates on the weber charcoal grill have a 2-year warranty so if for some reason yours are all busted up / rusted you could get them replaced, but unless you are outright abusing them they should last a lot, lot longer than that.
Cleaning a grill does not need to be a big ritual but a little bit of maintenance will go a long way. For the grates I like to use this style of wire grill brush because it has a nice scraper on the end in addition to the bristle. While the grill is hot (before and/or after you cook), scrape away any food crud and then brush the grates to get them down to metal. A hot fire will help clean the grates as well.
For the bowl of the grill: I don't really do much cleaning, just remove any food bits that drop down, and remove excess ash after grilling. If you find your grill bowl becomes lined with grease, a rippin' hot fire can burn off pretty much anything.
For smoking: the key to smoking in a Weber kettle is figuring out how to set the air dampers to maintain a low heat, around 225 - 250 ΒΊF, for many hours. A probe thermometer that you can leave in the grill helps a lot to know what's going on, at least until you have done it a few times and have figured it out. (The built-in dome thermometer is not particularly accurate although it can help you keep an eye on whether the grill is getting hotter or colder.) If you are on a budget, buying a good probe thermometer may seem like a lot to swallow, but it really does make it easier.
When you tried smoking did you have any specific problems or concerns?
