Use finder to browse in Applications.  Pick an application such as 
"Image Capture".  Control-click on the icon.  (Or right-click if your 
mouse has a right button and it is set up for that.)  You will see an 
option for "Show Package Contents"; select that.  That will open a 
folder you can browse in.  Explore that.  Many files are viewable and 
with the right tools they are editable.

The builder will help a lot, I believe, and you may not even have to 
look into a package.  However, poking around at this may give you an 
idea of what icons are like and help you understand what is going on.  
Also, as Mark indicated, you may want to directly edit parts yourself 
eventually.

I'm just learning about this myself and exploring has helped me.
