Do you mean the core plug? (this thing)
Bang a screwdriver through it and pop it out of the block/head. Be careful that you don't knock it inside the engine. Clean around the hole with wet/dry paper or similar, apply a thin film of thread lock/stud fit or similar, and then carefully knock the new one in nice and square using a socket.

Engine in the pictures is a 2.5 N/A engine, but a core plug is the same on any engine, as is the way of replacing it.
