You would be use MiniProg1 is most suitable for your Designer,
MiniProg1 design for PSoC1 devices.
MiniProg3 is also available to PSoC1
And can use for PSoC3,4,5 device.
Can use JTAG debugger.
the PSoC programmer using MiniProg1 and 3.

This is a longshot, but you could try contacting Regional
Sales manager or the Field Applications Engineer to see
if they would donate a www.cypress.com/ CY3210 kit to you.
Note it is $ 40 on Cypress website, includes programming
Miniprog1.
The other issue you have is w/o a debugger you will have
to do your debug over a serial link, or use simple leds
on a port, so that you can observe variables. One of the
easier ways is to use UART link to PC, and a terminal
program on PC, several on web for free.

This might help as well -
Also a lot of training videos -

General programming info can be found here: http://www.cypress.com/?rID=2543
PSOC1are programmed in a different way than the PSOC3/4/5.
PSOC1 are programmed via ISSP while PSOC3/4/5 use SWD/JTAG
The miniprog1 can only program via ISSP so it can only be used to program PSOC1 Chips and can not do debug. Therefor I would strongly recommend against buying a miniprog1 (unless you can get a good deal on ebay or somewhere else).
The miniprog3 can do ISSP so it can program PSOC1 devices but it can also do SWD so it can program/debug PSOC3/4/5. It can also do I2C-USB bridging to tune capsense. I think that, if budget permits, Miniprog3 is the best way to start, but as you said it's cost is high.

Thanks for the reply. Since I am a student I don't have a big budget, so I am looking for a cheap way to program the psoc. The MiniProg1 is 30$, which is already a bit high for me, but the MiniProg3 is 89$ which is way over of my budget. On the other hand I saw that there is a MiniProg3 clone on dangerous prototypes, and I found a very similar development board on ebay for 12$, so I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow use the CY7C68013A EZ-USB FX2LP USB2.0 Developement Board for programming the PSoC chips.
The FX2LP programmer on Dangerousprototypes is not a miniprog3 clone, it is actually a Generic USB Programmer (-050 kit clone) as described in the psoc programming page. You can use the cheap FX2LP boards from ebay to program and debug PSOC3 and PSOC5 (I haven't tried PSOC4) but it won't program PSOC1. Keep in mind that the ebay board's IO level is fixed at 3.3V and that this voltage has to be connected to the VCCIO on your target chip. Also, the ebay boards dont have overcurrent/overvoltage or any kind of protection but observing general good practices should be enough to avoid burning any chip.
