Could we have a link to your site so we can look at what you’re talking about? It helps to be able to see your site’s output.
I guess the basic strategy is to identify some class or id (or both) that will uniquely identify the elements whose styles you want to change. This can usually be done from attributes already in the HTML, but it depends on the theme.
So it would help if you could be a bit more specific, saying exactly what you want to change and where. We can then look at your site’s code (if you give us a link) and try to work out how to do what you’re after. Usually it’s just a matter of adding a bit of CSS to what’s already there.
BTW, it’s a much better idea to use a child theme if you possibly can.

the site link is http://www.thebank.org.uk/oneilmedia
I’m using the atahualpa theme
Couple of things struggling with (as not great with coding)
I would like to have the option to change the background colour and or, image on each page.
At the moment with the set up for testing this would currently just be the page Gripped, under the parent CLUBS.
Gripped is a template page style, that is copied from the index main template. It has then had some coding added for the image across the top.

The other issue is to do with the sidebars, top padding wasn’t working, so i added a text widget with breaks in <br>
I would quite like to use different widgets for different pages, but i think this may be possible with the custom sidebar pluggin i have.
thanks.
