You can learn all you need to for retexturing at the aforementioned Modeling and Texturing Tutorials. If you want to learn weighting armor and such, I don't know of a tutorial.

 

You don't need to know much about it for retexturing, though. Just A: Open up the tree/pick block view until a file-path with a flower beside it appears, and B: Swap out the vanilla texture for yours. Remember to cut off all of the filepath up to and including Data, and put a normal map in the same spot.*

 

*Normal maps being the files named exactly as a different one with _n at the end, that determine how light affects the item. You should be able to use the original one (renaming it to match your new .nif if necessary) and, if not, tutorials for normal maps can be found with the others.
