If this is what you need, then look into:

* The Asterisk Manager Interface: A socket you can connect into to
  control a running Asterisk server:
  http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+manager+API
* AGI: http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AGI 
* However a common mistake is to use heavy-weight AGI programs and such
  where Asterisk's dialplan would do. First and foremost, look at the
  Asterisk dialplan configuration:
  http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+extensions.conf

See http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+introduction

And now two notes: this is something you could have read yourself in
e.g. http://voip-info.org .

If you want to get a more specific and helpful answer, try asking a
better question. Please do some research before (re)asking your
question.

BTW: your question, as you phrase it, actually belongs in asterisk-users
. Unless you actually need to modify Asterisk itself (usually you
don't).
