If you are asking "how helium formed the sun?" then for your information, sun and all the stars are formed mostly from Hydrogen. And if you are asking "How helium is formed in the sun?", the answer is that the Hydrogen in the sun fuses in itself(that's where from the sun get's its energy and luminosity) producing variety of elements like helium, carbon oxygen,iron etc.

In the Sun, helium undergoes thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen and it converts five million tons of matter into energy every second by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation.
