  As Ron said, it may not be as easy as that.

  Until you have the years of programming experience needed for this,
perhaps the best way is to just suggest your ideas to someone who knows
POV-Ray source code well and ask if he could do it.
  Knowing the inner workings of POV-Ray (even if you don't know how to
program it) can be of great help when suggesting ideas because this way
you already know the possibilities and limitations (and possible work-arounds
for them) when you suggest the idea.
