You "flash" (overwrite flash memory) a file via an option in the installed custom recovery partition (usually Amon_RA's or ClockworkMod). There's an option, "Flash zip from sdcard" in the recovery menu.

Usually you flash a custom ROM .zip file or an update file that contains, well updates, to your existing ROM.

There are other ways to flash, but this is the typical / usual method.
