modding PHPbb
This is very easy, if you want to do it in a very simple and n00bish way...
Go into the "templates" folder of your forum
Open either overall_header.tpl
or index_body.tpl
or overall_footer.tpl
...and modify the HTML (which is pretty straight forward) all you like. - watch out though, as some HTML elements get printed many times (the stuff inside the "switches"...
For more info you could always visit [url]phpbb.com[/url].

whats the 'pro' way then?
Well, the pro way would be to create a new .tpl file and place it in phpbb with the .php files. Then you could also have it so you could edit it in your admin control panel.
- dont ask me how to do this though
I suggest just trying my first suggestion - its likely that it will work pretty much perfectly for you.
Alternatively you could try searching for a mod which does what i explained at the top on phpbbhacks.com or phpbb.com

The .tpl files are actually have html codes in them, they are not totally html but many tpl files consistute to make one php file. editing the tpl files, have to be done carefully and you should note that all styles use different tpl files, so if you have multiple styles then edit each of them
