You need to learn C.
Once you are good with C look at the trem source code.

To learn C get a good book or two.
And it will take time to get good.

A pk3 file is just a zip file with .pk3 instead of .zip
Get the source to some other mod and take a look.

I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.

Go to http://www2.latech.edu/~acm/helloworld/c.html.

When you can understand that and compile it into a running program, continue to http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/ and try to understand as much as you could.

When you think you're solid and code without too many glancing bac into that site, use this asa a reference: http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/webmonkeys/book/c_guide/1.2.html#keywords.

Of course, you're free to google up on this kind of information. Just telling you what you should expect to learn before you can start modding. If mapping is your idea, try asking in the mapping thread. Our 'mod' defines gameplay change which involves coding/programming.
