Brown is the most common colour of gem-quality diamond found. The colour is caused by the inclusion of nickel in its composition, or from irradiation. Plastic deformation is another potential cause for this colour.

How you can change the brown diamond to colorless diamond?

I'm pretty sure you can't do that. I know that if you expose the diamond to extreme heat it can enhance the natural color, but not to such an extreme degree as to remove the brown from a diamond and convert it to a colorless diamond. Usually brown diamonds are formed when minerals or elements get trapped within the diamond's chemical structure creating a tint. This is impossible to change. Diamond clarity, however, can be enhanced by using a laser.
