The board has a programming header. So after soldering it's no problem. 
You need a JTAG programming adapter that can be used by the Xilinx tools 
(impact).
I use this one:

Perhaps you can borrow one. The tools can be downloaded on the Xilinx 
website. Then you are also able to alter the code and make the ting do 
other stuff for you.
