Do you know if that text is a BitmapText actor or a PNG file? Do you know where the code is that causes it to appear on this screen?

If you're talking about the Credits text, it's almost certainly in BGAnimations/ScreenSystem overlay.lua (or the default.lua for it, if that's a folder style screen), in the function CreditsText. That's how _fallback does it.

Kyzentun is almost certainly correct on this one, though he nipped my attempt at eliciting a pedagogical moment in the bud.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any about learning to theme.

Hmm. Okay. Let's try to help you find it. What text editor do you use to write code in?
If you're using Windows OS, maybe you're using Notepad++ or SublimeText2?
If you're using Mac OS X, maybe you're using Textmate2 or SublimeText2?
If you aren't using one of those, or some similarly-poweful editor, you should. Something simple like Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (OS X) aren't enough.
Text editors like the ones I listed above allow you to open up and search through an entire folder all at once. So, you could open the entire Theme folder as a project and search for the text you're looking for (Local Mode).
Having an appropriate text editor, and learning how to use it, is one of the most important first steps to learning theming.
Here is some documentation explaining how to search multiple files in SublimeText2: http://sublime-text-unofficial-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/search_and_replace/search_and_replace_files.html
And here is the same sort of documentation for NotePad++: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-find-and-replace-words-in-multiple-files/

I don't use Notepad++ myself, so I can't provide a hands-on explanation of how to search through multiple files, but this tutorial should help.
When you find the text you are looking for, trying editing the text to say what you want it to say. Then try starting StepMania, or if StepMania is already running, Press F3+F6 to toggle your way into the themer menu, then press F3+2 to refresh the screen to see if the text changes.

Best way to find a piece of text in files that are somewhere inside a folder hierarchy is to hit Alt+S in emacs.
That gives you a listing like the left side of this image which shows you every place in every file where the string occurs, and what is around it. Clicking on one of the entries or moving the cursor to it and hitting enter opens the file at that point.
(this is why I use Emacs and Linux for everything. People look at me like I'm crazy, but I actually have things worked out well)

Check the file "ScreenTitleMenu NetworkStatus.lua" from the default theme for the network status code.

Assuming you have error logging enabled, are you getting any error messages?
Can you share some of the code you're attempting to change? Use a site like http://pastebin.com/, please, as it will retain indentation and make it slightly easier to read.
