1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{5^{3-y}}{\pi} = 2$$ for $y$.
2. **Isolate the exponential term:** Multiply both sides by $\pi$ to get rid of the denominator.
$$5^{3-y} = 2\pi$$
3. **Take the logarithm of both sides:** Use the natural logarithm $\ln$ to solve for the exponent.
$$\ln\left(5^{3-y}\right) = \ln(2\pi)$$
4. **Use the logarithm power rule:** Bring down the exponent.
$$ (3 - y) \ln(5) = \ln(2\pi) $$
5. **Solve for $y$:**
$$ 3 - y = \frac{\ln(2\pi)}{\ln(5)} $$
$$ y = 3 - \frac{\ln(2\pi)}{\ln(5)} $$
6. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{y = 3 - \frac{\ln(2\pi)}{\ln(5)}}$$
This is the exact value of $y$ in terms of natural logarithms.
