Change front page

Hi, We've got somes difficults to manage the template and the drupal in the same time. I read your documentation but it do not explain how to use you theme. For example, I want to change the home page, the title in this case. Were shoud I go to change it ? In the "appareance" menu ? Or in the "views" page ? I hope you will accept to help me, its my first drupal site. Best regards. Website : write-and-read.com / write-and-read.fr PS : As a proud french, my english is a little strange. I hope you will excuse me.
