The rocket body itself simply falls back down from space, either burning up on reentry, splashing into the ocean and sinking to the bottom, or impacting on the ground like a meteor.
If the payload carried by the rocket needs to get back down, it either simply follows a ballistic trajectory and fall back down independent of the rocket (e.g. ICBM warhead, sounding rocket instrument package), or must deorbit by firing retrorockets. Recovery of these payloads (if desired) is another issue.
Some satellites are simply deorbited so that they will reenter the atmosphere, burnup, and be destroyed so that they do not provide a source of dangerous space junk (or in some cases for security reasons if the satellite served a classified function so that pieces cannot be recovered and analyzed).

How space rocket in space can be slowed down?
a rocket can be slowed down by firing trusters in the opposite direction however the slower the rocket moves forward the faster it will fall
Why doesn't a rocket in space need to use an engine to keep moving in space?
Because there is no friction in space to slow the rocket down. Once the rocket is at its cruising speed, the engine can be switched off. Of course, that means that you have to use a different engine (pointing forwards) to slow down and stop the rocket since friction won't do it for you.
