I have 2000 and I think it is 5.02 but I have done a little more reading since last night and i know i need a custom firmware but i don't know which one or what to do with it when i get it.

You'll need to turn your battery into a pandoras battery via hard modding it. We have a tutorial for hardmodding the phat battery but not the slim, so you'll have to google for that one.

Aside from that, you'll need to create a "magic memory stick" to over ride your psp's ipl (initial program load) so that you may install custom firmware. There are some easy installers floating around the web for that as well.

For the choice of custom firmware, i recommend 5.00 m33-4

If you need help finding something just let us know and we'll give you a hand.
