Do you even know how to make a custom? Make sure you read the tutorial here, it would answer the question you posted and anything similar you may ask: http://www.starcraft.org/customs/CustomsTutorials/Creating+your+first+mod

If you are replacing a unit, you need to find that unit's grp file and replace it in you mpq. ie, if I was replacing kerrigan, I would make a directory structure: 'unit\terran\' and name my grp ughost.grp and place it in the mpq, so the files would show up like this in Winmpq:

arr\units.dat
arr\weapons.dat
*..more files..*
unit\terran\ughost.grp

If you aren't trying to replace a graphic, then you are probably not advanced enought of a modder to make heads or tails of the answer(based on how much you've said you have done).

Oh, make sure the grp has the same(or more) number of frames as the original, otherwise it will crash.

Not arr...
Look, what you do in modding is replacing SC files with your own files, keeping the ones you do not replace on defult.
Extract stardat.mpq into a folder. Look at what you've got. That's your mod, with everything in it.
So if you want to change a file, you just replace it by putting a new file with the same name and path in your mod folder.
Check what's the path for your *.grp, make sure it's the same in your mod. For example: yourmodfolder/unit/terran/goliatht.grp
