Well unfortunately those 3 things are a little tricky.
As far as installing programs, what you want are .cab files. They are the files that you copy over to your device or storage card and then run from within your phone.
Using youtube involves installing a few things and might not be the best place to start. GPS requires installing a test ROM and is also not a great place to start.
I would recommend starting with something simple like installing a theme or HTC Home Customizer. Messing with that stuff was what I started with and I worked my way up to flashing new ROMS. It's not all that tough, but you want to read as much as you can. It seems a bit intimidating at first since it's not quite the same as using Windows on your desktop computer. Still, it's similar enough that you can usually pick it up.
I just read a lot of forum threads and within a month I had installed the new ROM with GPS capability and changed the entire look and feel of my device from the standard Windows Mobile you see out of the box.
