I'm among the first to object when someone says "you need to start with
assembler", but in this case, I'd say you need to start with reading at
least one PIC data sheet, also maybe the relevant family manual. At the
very least the sections that have to do with the programming (memory
organization, commands and the like). 

And then of course understand your compiler and linker. I'm not sure there
are PIC C compilers out there that can create address independent code. For
what you say you want to do, you may be better off with a Basic interpreter
that can execute code from external serial memory. (If there is one that
can create such p-code address independently.)
