You need to set up a compiling environment.  There are details on how to do this in the wiki.  Once you've done that it's rather simple to modify the keys and compile your own build, but noone is going to hold your hand and walk you through it as all the instructions have already been written down once.

where can i find the instructions for the configuration of the butons, what file should i reprogram

[MarcGuay]

/apps/keymaps/keymap-e200 or c200, as you didn't mention what player you have.

You need to modify and compile the rockbox source code, not a compiled build of rockbox.  See MarcGuay's link.

ok, thanks, i got the enviroment, and got  the rockbox source code, now how can i modify the files that i download, can sombody give me a link for that o explain me how can i modify the configuration

the links below explain only how get the source code and compile into the rockbox but doesn´t explain how can i edit the source code, i can acces the folder /apps/keymaps/ but can not open the keymaps-e200.c file how do i open it and how do i edit this, im in Cygwin

Use a text editor.  For simple changes, the built in Windows editor "notepad" will work.  For more complicated changes, you may want to download a more sophisticated editors like notepad++ or textpad.

i alredy compile the new keymaped rockbox but i have a problem, with wordpad i change all the rec_buttons for none_button and all the left_buttons for rec_buttons, and it work the rec_button do what left_button shuold do as i wannted to,  but the first touch to the scrollwell rigth or left is to sensitive and it scroll up or down like if i touched it 10 times the secound touch is a normal one, but if i stop scroling, it goes to fast again what do you think i should do?

by the way thanks to all of you for making the rockbox beeing, patient with my dumb questions and my bad english ( im happy because you understand my bad english ) you guys save my sansa and my wallet, relly a lot of thanks to you.

I don't think it's quite as simple as changing all of the recordings to none and the lefts to recording.  You should look at the code and figure out what it's going to do before changing it.  Each keymap, or set of keypresses, refers to a different screen, and the 3 columns also have different meanings.  Pick one, figure out what the deal is, and then modify them as you wish.
