I have to admit that my experiece with YooTheme is limited, but I would think that you could just go into the error.php and edit the file. Have you tried that?
Another suggestion is if there are not a lot of "dead pages" that you could use Joomla's built-in Redirect Manager. http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/joomla25/redirect_manager.htm I would also check with YooTheme and ask how you could set up a custom error page.
