Well, if you want to get into mapping, this thread has all of the information you need on getting Valve Hammer Editor and getting started using it. http://www.esforces.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11461
Also, read the Mapping section of the forum.

If you want to get into modeling, I suggest MilkShape 3D. You can get it here, http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/
And also read the Models/Skins part of the forum.

Using Milkshape is the easiest way, just open it, open a ESF model (.mdl), and then select one of the menus (blah, i dont wanna open Milkshape, so i'll tell u what i know ), and then select one of the skins u want to edit. When u have done that, click "Export BMP" or something like that. Then u just edit it... when u are done, import it.
