Changing a broke light socket is a very elementary exercise. The very first thing you do is remove the power from the circuit. If it is a lamp just unplug it. If it is a ceiling socket turn it's breaker off. On a ceiling fixture remove the screws holding it to the ceiling. Write on a piece of paper the colours of the wires going to the screws on the socket and the colour of the screws the wire is connected to. To install the new socket just wire it the same as the one that you just removed. Asking this type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself.
Study some electricians' training materials and your National Electrical Code.
If you get any detailed "how to do it" answer here, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.
<><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND
always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
