It's really not that different from learning HTML. Find a good CSS reference and start learning what the codes are and what they do. Then experiment. I think I probably learned from this webmonkey tutorial but that was probably written somewhere around 2000.
On your own pages, the first thing to do is to strip out any basic presentational mark-up - font tags, center, things like that. You can leave the table layouts for now. Worry about the basics first, then get into the complicated stuff. The first thing you should do is get rid of <font>.
It also helps if you pay attention to semantics in your HTML and structing the document properly.

I think one misconception a lot of people have about HTML, CSS, PHP, and any type of programming or markup at all is that they can just learn it in one sitting or with one book or web tutorial, and honestly that's just not true. No matter how much you read and learn through tutorials, experience is the number one tutor. After you know most of the basics of CSS, work on moving your website to a CSS-based design like Megan said. You may come to a snag where you cannot get what you want out of the CSS, and that's when you refer back to a reference page or tutorial or stop by here and ask us how to accomplish what you're doing. When you can see what you're doing you can truly learn what's happening, so working with CSS and any other type of coding is the best way to learn.

That's so true. I've been working with CSS for 7 or 8 years and I'm still learning. It takes experience to recognize common problems. So take your time, everything won't come to you overnight but once you've been working at it for awhile you'll be able to do great things with your web pages.
