  I would like to edit the header (using theme Twenty Ten), and add a block of transparent colour on the right of the image along with a quote. Is that possible or it is something that a designer would need to get involved in?
  thanks

  You’ll need to edit the image itself using Photoshop or another image editing application then upload that version.

  very possible. I use Photoshop for my headers. But there are free editing applications. Try Gimp

  There are many free image editors online you can use. What’s important is to understand that for the best images quality you must optimize and presize the image for the header to the exact specifications required so when you do upload it the cropper does not come into play.
