You can do quite a lot with just CSS, but you will need to at least understand CSS and the HTML code that is generated.
Start by simply examining what's already happening. If you use Chrome, for example, just right click on any element on the page and choose "Inspect element." You can then read the generated HTML for that element, identify the correct path to the element, view the CSS that is applied to that element and much more. It can be a little daunting at first, but you should be able to pick up CSS and HTML within a few days (or less, depending on your background).
Make the first change a very simple one. Change the heading text to blue, for example. It may take you a few tries to get it right the first few times; don't get discouraged. You can play in Studio without damaging your site :)
But DO copy your existing CSS file to another filename before you play, so you don't inadvertently push the play changes...
And DO go through the very helpful Lithium training videos for Studio (and everything else)! And ask questions on the forum when you don't understand. I don't see many questions go unanswered for long.
