You should go to the customize and download page for bootstrap and change the fonts in the typography section, then download the custom build to use.

if you want to use your own css file, all you need to remember is that css is cascading. Which means when you link the css in your html have the bootstrap one in first and yours after. So that anything within you css folder will overide the bootstrap.
