Editing an External List form without Infopath

$

Hi,

I have created an external list which links to an SQL database table and I can add a new record through a form on SharePoint 2010 Foundation and it saves the record to the database table.  But because it is an external list, I wasn't able to use all the facilities available when creating a custom list. For example, I want to create a drop down box on one of the fields to minimize errors.  I was able to do this using a custom list but I have been told that I can't use a custom list because not everyone at my place of work has got infopath installed on their computer so I can't use that kind of form. 

How do I edit the form so that I can create drop down lists for certain fields and also add the people picker which you can use to select from a list of company staff members etc?

Any help would be much appreciated.  I am not very technically minded so if you any explanations can be put in simple terms that would be so much appreciated too.

Thank you very much.

Ali :)
