I don't want to come across as patronizing or anything, but before you start changing your device in such a fundamental way you really really need to have a clear mental picture of exactly how things are working.. you need to know how it works currently, what the changes are doing, and how it's going to work afterwards. Until you know enough about these things I would stay clear and leave the tablet as it is, or you risk ending up with a useless device.
Hell, I'm not going to install bootmenu yet, even with 15 years of Linux experience.. from back when the official way to set up the hard disk boot config was to edit byte location 508 on the disk with a binary hex editor..!

That link also has a link to "get root" you have to add those repos first and install those apps.. as for becomeroot.. you can't pull from that repository in an n800 (at least I couldn't) for some reason, but you can use the browser to go there, download the deb and open it in application manager.
