The short answer is that you need to copy the default theme to ~/.config/awesome/theme.lua, change your config to point to it, then modify it.

But I don't think this is what you really ask. The longer answer is that AwesomeWM is a window manager framework. The config is written in a programming language called Lua. From your config, you can create widgets, bars and fancy things. The "theme" isn't a standalone thing. It is "just" lua code.

The documentation is here
