Drupal theme's are built using HTML and CSS (with a smattering of PHP and 
Javascript), you need to start by learning those basics.

Some tutorials:
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

Some references:
http://reference.sitepoint.com/html
http://reference.sitepoint.com/css

And when you have a grasp of the basics then look at the Drupal theme 
handbook for version 5:
http://drupal.org/theme-guide/5

or 6:

Good luck.
