A couple of points that might be interesting:

• You can redefine the margins in the header (i.e. before \begin{document}} by reseting the controlling lengths like \setlength{\textwidth}{6.80in}, \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0.0in} and so on.

• \section*{...} will give you un-numbered sections already. Likewise for \subsection* and \subsubsection*. If you do use this trick and also want working references, you might have a look at How do I emit the text content of a reference in LaTeX?.

• Have you looked at the titlepage environment?

But perhaps most important, the memoir class may give you all the control you need without any class hacking. Check out the documentation.

Or use Can Berk Güder's suggestion.
