Hello @raj199015

You can download the patch files from the magento download page

https://www.magentocommerce.com/products/downloads/magento/

Upload the patch files in the root folder of Magento

If you know SSH and have access, you will need to run command as per the instruction.

For patch files with the file extension .sh:
sh patch_file_name.sh
Example: sh PATCH_SUPEE-1868_CE_1.7.0.2_v1.sh
For patch files with the file extension .patch:
patch –p0 < patch_file_name.patch
Once that is done, refresh the cache in the Admin under "System > Cache Management" so that the changes will be reflected.

If you don't know have access to the SSH you can use FTP,
