Browse the forum, and read the tutorials.

There is a thread for what programs you need, but I suggest you take a look at modding War3 in its entirety and decide what approach you wish to take, and where your skills lie.

I think a good start would just be using World Edit to make a bunch of new units based off the originals. It's nothing complex - just editing values, sizes and stuff. That's what I've done anyway - basic sets of units for demons, Pandarens, etc.

After that, you can try Skinning and modelling, of which there are tutorials for either around here.
