You can change your Ubuntu theme by going into
System Settings --> Appearance
Your custom themes are present in the ~/.themes directory ( and in /usr/share/themes/ unless you have not installed it as root user ) with their own name.
Simply deleting the folder (name of the theme you want to delete) will remove the theme.
I would recommend installing the Unity tweak tool from the Software Center. It allows you to change themes as well as icons.
As for installing, themes can be installed/removed like any other software using the software center or apt-get from terminal. You can find some good themes at
