Hello, i have a image which i will send to a site, to get printed as vinyl stickers. The site want the image to be in CMYK (no specifik profile) and 300 dpi. I tried to convert this file to CMYK and 300dpi the last days, but it's really hard for me, since i have no knowledge/experience in this.

I would really appreciate if someone with knowledge could help me to convert the image to CMYK and 300 dpi.

It's a .jpeg file in sRGB, with 72 dpi.

I believe i won't be able to fix this by myself, since i don't have adobe InDesign which seem to be the tool for this.

Here's the image: http://m.imgur.com/l7E3DqO

If someone could convert it to CMYK with 300 dpi, that would be great.

It is Ppi by the way, ppi=pixels per inch. Just saying ;-)

Is this image/file in CMYK and 300 dpi? Will it work?

Well the color mode in this is example is CMYK, but it's too large (compared with the previous version) though the printer should be able to reduce the size. By the way, should bleed be added to the image?

I can't say whether it will "work" the printer should decide. By the way, what process is being used – is it litho or screen printing?

No bleed will be added. I don't know which process they will use..

This is what the site says:

"designs must be set to the correct dimensions and of 300dpi or more and in cmyk"

Do i have to change it to 1181x1181 to get the correct dimensions?

Just so you know, the tool is Photoshop not InDesign for images. But this is pointless. You cannot make a better picture by increasing resolution. If you only have 72 dpi this is useless.
