The melting point of Mercury is -38.8oC. In other words, if you have solid mercury, you can melt it by heating it up to this temperature. At room temperature, mercury is already a liquid-based solid, meaning this question is a bit like asking how you melt water-like ice.

Basically you heat it up, when you reach its melting point it will melt.
