Changes to the main osm.org rendering are done by modifying some of the code or configuration files for one or more steps in the rendering process -- most commonly, only a stylesheet file needs to be altered. All of these things, including the stylesheets, are managed over on trac.openstreetmap.org . I'm not sure how easy it is to gain the ability to directly make changes there, but you can open a trac ticket to request someone else make the necessary changes.
As I understand it, the "mapnik team" over on trac who maintains rendering-related stuff is fairly busy, so it would be helpful if your trac ticket is very specific about what you want to change, and doesn't interact significantly with already-complex parts of the stylesheet such as roads. If your suggestion would add a new symbol to the map, it would be helpful to supply a png or svg file of the new symbol. Keep in mind that not every rendering change is technically feasible, or appropriate for the general-purpose map style shown on osm.org. If your idea is ignored or rejected, don't take it personally.
