I am newbie to wordpress and just started to play with themes. My problem is I want to change the css of the content part and for that I want to know by default the content comes in the blog page comes from which page. I made echo from many pages but not got any result. Can any one tell me all the contents comes from which page?

I'll refer you to the excellent template hierarchy diagram from the Codex, which explains how template files are chosen:

WordPress template hierarchy

That explains the "which page" aspect of your question, but you also mentioned modifying CSS based on content. The body_class() function should be a part of your template, and it will apply a number of classes to the <body> tag which allow you to target CSS at specific types of content. For example, given a category "spooky," this CSS rule would give all "spooky" pages a black background:

.category-spooky { background-color: #000; }

Many other variations exist, for other types of targeting.
