ummm... Joomla! is written in PHP. PHP is an uncompiled language. That means that the files you installed contain the source code for Joomla!

i would suggest starting in the Help section. there is a lot to learn. I would also advise installing Joomla on a Local Server using something like WAMP. This makes it a lot easier to access the files. I also note You have downloaded 1.5 RC4 - is there a specific reason for this? - if no, you may wish to use version 1.0.13 as it is stable and there is more help available. hope this helps and good luck

If you really want to get into modifying the code, I would suggest getting a code book on PHP and spend some time learning the language.
You will get good mileage out of that.
