This objective is so vast and so vague that it's difficult to give meaningful help. I'd emphasise Kevin Grittner's very worthwhile advice. Try to break your question down into smaller, more specific ones. With a question like "how does postgres work" you're likely to flounder. But with a more targeted question, e.g., "what format does postgres use to save data to disk" or "how does postgres implement ORDER BY", you can make easier progress, and perhaps you could get more useful pointers from the people on this list. Have you read through the "Overview of System Internals" chapter in the documentation [1]? Perhaps it will help you identify the areas you wish to explore further, and form more specific questions.
