You need to know Vala, this tutorial is a good start if you already 
know a other imperative programming language: 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Tutorial

You also need to build the applications and get the source, this is 
usually done like that:

1.     bzr branch lp:pantheon-terminal

Now you have the source of the terminal app in a "pantheon-terminal" 
subfolder.
Look around at https://launchpad.net/elementary to view all projects. 
They all have a "lp:XYZ" address that is usually similiar to the 
project name, so has scratch "lp:scratch" and so on.

2.     sudo apt-get build-dep pantheon-terminal

This installs all necessary libraries to compile pantheon-terminal

3.    mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

You have to run this in the source directory that the "bzr branch XYZ" 
from step 1 created

Now you have a self-compiled pantheon-terminal. Launch the 
"pantheon-terminal" binary in the build-directory to run it.
If you now change any vala-source in the downloaded directory and you 
rerun the command No. 3, the binary gets recompiled with your changed.

Just a quick overview as i don't know how much you already know :)
