Making changes to child theme

Hello again,
I am trying to make all sort of changes to the theme using the child theme, so that I don't have to loose everything when updating.
However, I can't figure exactly how to do it.
I am trying to change a few classes from the file css/layout.css but nothing I do works.
If I place the changed class in the child's style.css - it is being override by original layout.css
If I create a new layout.css and try the same - it just doesn't work at all.
What am I doing wrong here?

Also, if I want to change any other file, for example includes/header-top-area.php, where am I suppose to save it to?
And do I have to add the   @import ;  of original file at the beginning of mine?

Thanks!
