Hi!

1. Parent it to an other object, or Group.

2. Modify Pivot position.

Please read the Maya Online Help / Documentation for more details.

Hey there, below I made a quick screencast for you to show how to go about it!! (:

Either you put the center pivot of the object on the other object in which it rotates around from or you add a group node above the object and change the group node's center pivot instead! 🙂

Hope that helps out! I actually have a rigging course that is 14+ hours and over 120+ lectures that should help you out for beginner stuff all the way to more advanced techniques!!

Link is below, wish you the best of luck!
