I understand that, but there are objects thatare at the far reaches of the universe. How did they get there faster than the speed of light?

Link.

Executive summary: objects can't move faster than the speed of light, but spacetime itself can expand faster than the speed of light, and does, or at least it did in the early part of time just after the bang.

Also points out that, just because our view of something indicates it's many billions of years away, that doesn't mean it's actually there right now.
