Convert Javascript Button to Lightning Component (Step by Step instructions)

We have 3 Javascript buttons which change the record type and reassigns the case to a queue. Here is an example 

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/13.0/connection.js")} 

var caseObj = new sforce.SObject("Case"); 
caseObj.Id = '{!Case.Id}'; 
caseObj.RecordTypeId = '012400000009FQA';
caseObj.OwnerId = '00G40000001dp2s'

var result = sforce.connection.update([caseObj]);

if (result[0].success =='false') {
alert (result[0].errors.message);
} else {
location.reload(true);
}

I am looking for detailed step-by-step instructions/tutorial to convert this to Lightning Component. 

Thank you in advance.

Hello Shalini,

As suggested in StackExchange I have created the following apex page but when I use the button the new page keeps on refreshing. What am I missing?  
<apex:page standardController="Case">
    <apex:includeScript value="../../soap/ajax/20.0/connection.js"/>
    <script>
    sforce.connection.sessionId='{!GETSESSIONID()}';
    var caseObj = new sforce.SObject("Case"); 
    caseObj.Id = '{!Case.Id}'; 
    caseObj.RecordTypeId = '012400000009FQA';
    caseObj.OwnerId = '00G40000001dp2s'
    
    var result = sforce.connection.update([caseObj]);
    
    if (result[0].success =='false') {
        alert (result[0].errors.message);
    } else {
        location.reload(true);
    }
    </script>
</apex:page>

Hi Yogesh,

You have mentioned in the above coding like that location.reload(true) thats the reason page is reloading when update successful.
Please remove that line and mentioned some alert for success message.

Hello Shalini,

Thanks for the reply.  The flickering has stopped.  Is there a way to automatically close the window after it is done?

Hi Yogesh,

Please use the below lines, you can able to close window and refresh cash record.

window.opener.location.href = "/{!Case.Id}";
window.self.close();
