Creme fraiche is a form of sour cream made using French cooking techniques. You can make it yourself by mixing room temp or slightly warm (not hot) fresh heavy cream (2 cups) with a little buttermilk (3 Tbsp), also room temp, in a glass jar, cover it and leave it in a warmish room temperature place for 24 hours (on top of the refrigerator is the best place for this). Stir every six hours or so. Stir once more and put in the refrigerator for another 24 hours and you will have some wonderful (better than sour cream) stuff!
Otherwise, it depends on what you are making. Some recipes can use plain yogurt or cottage cheese blended until smooth or ricotta cheese. If you are using it at the table on a baked potato, for example, you can use the yogurt, ricotta, or cottage cheese.
You can make yogurt cheese by placing plain yogurt in cheese cloth and let it drip until the watery liquids drain out (8 or so hours), leaving a wonderful soft yogurt cheese that is very much like sour cream.

If you don't have any sour cream, you may measure out the same amout of milk and take one tablespoon out, then add one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. That will make the milk 'clot' and is the best substitute for sour cream in any baking dish.
If you don't have eggs, or you don't have oil, you can substitute mayonnaise for both of those in baking, but you can NOT use mayonnaise as a substitute for sour cream.
You may also use plain yogurt (NO FLAVORS ADDED) or vanilla yogurt in place of the sour cream in baking.
