I am by no means an expert, but I'll try to give you as much as I know.

First, the attack vector sort of depends on the website or application; 
this means that there isn't exactly a one-method-fits-all solution.

If the website is a cms or somehow pulls it's content from a database, 
you will need to:
1) Either get access to the database server--it is kind of surprising 
how many servers have an open sql port you can play with.
2) Use an sql injection or another method to change the content.

If the pages are static, then you will need to find a way to get access 
to the actual server, either through ftp or by another means.
