  You can’t see the original CSS. You can only add modifications to it, like moving existing bits left or right, etc.

  Can I ask, more or less, the same question? Let me explain myself, I’m sadly a newbe: how can I edit the Css if I am not an expert and if I can’t see the “original” Css sheet?
  I’m afraid I can mess the entire blog /site… :(

  You can indeed. It happens all the time.

  That is why there is paid staff support for the Custom CSS forum. If you know the change you want to make, then search teh forum to see if the solution has already been provided. If not, create a new thread, state the theme you’re using and exactly the change you want to make. Someone will come along and answer.

  To see the original CSS of an element you need to learn how to use the Inspect Element tool of your browser or a developer add-on such as Firebug in Firefox.
