A bootloader is a small(ish) bit of code that you can program into your target with a conventional programmer. Once a bootloader is installed it is possible to load new code into the target without requiring an external progammer.

It allows you to quickly and simply upgrade a PIC locally or remotely.

Microchip have some good application notes on their site that describe some implementations. If you search the web you will find lots of bootloaders. DO a serach on "Tiny Bootloader" PIC and you will find a basic description.
