Editing Child Theme functions without PHP knowledge

I've looked for answers for this particular question before resorting to asking the question. So basically I'm trying to make changes to the custom post type via child theme on Wordpress. I'm having trouble making modifications to the child theme. For example here's their demo portfolio single post page: http://ift.tt/1xSDjuX Notice where it says "Tags" - let's say I want to completely overhaul that to change it to say "Style" instead and also move the layout. Essentially I found the specific file to manipulate. I made a copy of it from the original theme and placed it in the exact folder hierarchy in the child theme however no changes are being made. I read somewhere that modifications have to be added to functions.php however since I don't know how to write php code, I followed the second advice which is to simply place of a copy of the original file modified and place it in the child theme. Am I missing an important step of telling the child theme via functions.php to go check for this modification? Essentially Since I'm new to PHP and I have a number of changes to make, the best way for me is to find what I want to change and manipulate it instead of writing codes on the functions.php. Sorry for the long description, wanted to be clear :)
