How do I change the wording on the front-home page

Newbie!!!

I am looking where to change the wording and the whole layout for the home page in the admin section. Where do I go and how do I do it. I find these instructions but can't find that section!!! Yikes!!!

 

Editing Page Texts

 

The text shown here can be modified in the following file, on each language basis:

 

[path to catalog]/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool with the Languages->English->Define or Tools->File Manager modules.

 

The text is set in the following manner:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...');

 

The text highlighted in green may be modified - it is important to keep the define() of the TEXT_MAIN keyword. To remove the text for TEXT_MAIN completely, the following example is used where only two single quote characters exist:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

 

I can't find it and when I think I get somewhere I get errors like below.

 

Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/c7097697/public_html/favor/includes/languages/english/account_edit.php

 

Does this have to do with my cpanel. i am not at all computer savy so please explain in simple steps! thank YOU!!!
