I assume you are talking about your themes output.
If your theme is using phptemplate (core default) then you should have a look at the handbook pages on theming.
When using phptemplate you should never need to hack any module or core code. You should be able to override the output of most content.

As the other posted suggestion, if you're going to be making your own theme, you really need to read the docs. However, in any case, regions (i.e. $right, $left, $content, etc.) generally get their content by blocks assigned at admin/build/block.

If you are using phptemplate you can put the flowing code into any tpl.php file. This will list all php variables available to that file.
You can also make your own variables available using the template.php file but that requires coding.

foreach($variables as $name => $content) {
  print $name .'<br />';
}

More good handbook pages.

And if you are a coder don’t forget about http://api.drupal.org
You can lookup any core function at that site.

For example the reason you are able to use the above code is because of this function.
