Need Help to change the structure of the default Vanilla 2.0

I basically need to add more fields in apply for membership option and as well i want to edit the text that is already written there... (btw i am a noob)

I'd suggest you take a look at some simple plugins (http://vanillaforums.org/addon/usersvanillaversion-plugin), some plugins that do something similar (http://vanillaforums.org/addon/registrationrole-plugin) in order to see how to add more fields. Try making your first steps with programming. Vanilla and its community is a good place to start

You maybe want to search for profile extender: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/185850#Comment_185850 It is not for the current Vanilla version but it seems as if it could be tweaked to work with it.

For the text part, you should search for translating Vanilla. This might be the easiest solution.

Thanks for your replay R_J but i still i am not able to achieve what i wanted... ok one simple question can i edit the basic html/js/css that is used in the apply for membership page and then how to add objects... FOr eg: i want to add a college field with the registration... what to do...?

I assume you will not find anybody who gives you a complete solution and diving into development seems not to be attractive for you. So I think going for the profile extender is the best way for you. That plugin allows you to create custom profile fields.
Get it from GitHub: https://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/tree/2.1/plugins/ProfileExtender
Search for that line 'RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.1a1'), and change it to 'RequiredApplications' => array('Vanilla' => '2.0'),

Enable that plugin and see if you can use it.
If not, what's going on? Enable the debugger plugin and make sure to activate following things in your /conf/config.php: $Configuration['Garden']['Debug'] = TRUE; $Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php';`
Then make a screenshot of the error and post it here. Don't forget to mention your Vanilla version.

If you want to edit html/css/js, you have to create a custom theme. Read more about that here: http://vanillawiki.homebrewforums.net/index.php/The_Ultimate_Theme_Guide_for_Designers_-Part_3_of_4:_How_Vanilla_Themes_Function
