XMB stands for Cross Media Bar, and is the interface for the PSP system. Basically, it sorts the content of your PSP into categories like Game, Video, Music, Network, etc. From there you do things like listen to a song or start playing a game.

http://www.psp-themes.net/ Place theme.p3t (or .ptf) file in X:/PSP/THEME/ folder and select theme from XMB->Settings->Themes X is your psp USB or PSP media card Or Download Only theme file directly from your PSP internet browser.
If you mean a game save [under Game > Saved Data Uility on your XMB] then the games that you play will automatically load those for you. If you mean a saved homebrew game, read the readme.txt they usually come with, it will tell you to move all the data to "psp/game" or maybe "psp/game150" ect..
