For the new Blogger: Dashboard → Layout → Template designer → Advanced.
For the legacy Blogger interface: Dashboard → Design → Template designer → Advanced.

Blogger Theme designer, example.
For the majority of templates, it is necessary to make changes directly in the template’s code, using XML and CSS. A quick way to modify a template is changing the images in the CSS code with others with the same dimensions. This is the process to change an image header, for example.
Additionally, some templates have their own settings and customizations, after you download a template, please check if it has additional settings.
