If you are looking to read policy you need to install the policy src
rpm. If you just want to customize policy in FC5, you should have the
policy interface files installed in
/usr/share/selinux/devel/include already. And you can start building
policy modules. Please read through
www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux
For more information.

Sorry, I'm not following you. I'm relatively new to linux and don't know
what to do. Is SRPM like an RPM? it installs in the same way?
Not quite. The SRPM contains the source code, patches, and other files
for a package, plus the "recipe" in the form of a "spec" file for how
to build the regular RPM. When you install an SRPM, it's just
extracted into a few directories and not entered into your RPM
database. You do not have to be root to install an SRPM, and in fact
you shouldn't build packages as root anyway, for security reasons.
Here's what I'd do to look at the sources in FC5:
1. Set up an RPM build environment for your account:
http://www.city-fan.org/tips/CreateRPMBuildEnvironment
2. Get the selinux-policy SRPM:
# yum install yum-utils
(do that as root; you don't need to be root for anything else)
$ yumdownloader --source --enablerepo=updates-source selinux-policy
3. Install the SRPM:
$ rpm -Uvh selinux-policy-2.2.43-4.fc5.src.rpm
4. Unpack tarball and apply patches:
$ cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
$ rpmbuild -bp selinux-policy.spec
That should leave you with the patched policy sources corresponding to
the latest FC5 policy in ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/serefpolicy-2.2.43
