This should get you started: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child\_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

Further you can look into: [http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wordpress-child-themes-dev/](http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wordpress-child-themes-dev/)

Basically you need to create a new theme folder with code\>style.css inside it which is linked back to code\>style.css for the original theme folder. From there you can write your own CSS inside your newly created style.css and it will overwrite the original one.
