First get UMSWE from www.umsmaps.com.
Secondly find the model path of the doodad you want.
Lastly put the model path of the doodad into the model path of the unit in the unit editor.

Ok you probably can benefit from also having winmpq. What I do is find a doodad I want to use and search for its file in the mpq. When you find the file location, copy it and paste it into the unit model box in the unit editor. (Remember to remove the extension .mdl or .mdx)

So to get the model for grave to be a unit:
Open war3.mpq in winmpq
search for grave
select the model you want (view with an image viewer or biturn - from dloads page)
open the unit editor in umswe
create a custom model or select the model that you wish to edit
replace the model line with the location of the doodad model you wish to use (remove the extension)
Check in the editor that the unit has changed/

Thats all there is to it :)

Hope this helps,
