Capsaicin, the substance in chili peppers that makes them hot, is an oil. So, using a dish soap like Dawn will help take away the oils that haven't soaked in yet. For the remaining heat/pain, use an over-the-counter burn cream.

Wash your hands in lukewarm water and use some hand cream or lotion on them.
Also, for future reference, use gloves (rubber ones) when handling those peppers :P
