A lot of the visual interface of SharePoint is contained in RenderingTemplate controls, stored in the [12]\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\DefaultTemplates.ascx.
You can override these rendering templates by creating your own .ascx files in the CONTROLTEMPLATES folder by adding RenderingTemplate controls with the same ID as the template you wish to override.
Note that you can only override once, and that the overrides are global, meaning all rendering templates of the same ID are overridden.
