PHPBB usually handles the tags, description and site name through the DB, so you technically shouldn't NEED to change anything, however, if you're messing with the coding, for the keyword and description meta tags you'd do the following;

Code: 
<meta name="keywords" content="PUT KEYWORDS HERE" />
<meta name="description" content="PUT DESCRIPTION HERE" />
The title, according to the code posted, is generated dynamically;

Code: 
<title>{PAGE_TITLE} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP}  &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!--  ENDIF -->{SITENAME}</title>
So I'd leave that alone, as it's built from a set of variables pulled from the DB.

If I've understood what you're wanting correctly, of course :)

EDIT: Or, I'm sure there's an SEO mod for PHPbb about, so you could buy/download and install that :)

right so to get google to find the meta tags i shouldnt have to do anything it is auto

the second part when would use google to find it it just says index so how would i change this
