I assume you mean the contents of the hard drive as opposed to, say, replacing a broken screen.
Most computers come with either a set of discs that can be used to do this, or instructions to make the discs yourself. If yours did not (or if you lost them, or didn't make them in the first place) you could try contacting the manufacturer for replacements, which are generally available at a nominal cost.
If you're really paranoid, you might first get a utility like DBAN ("Darik's Boot And Nuke") which is a CD that you put in the computer when it boots that will allow you to completely erase the hard drive before you restore it. You can even have it write null data to the hard drive, meaning that even tools designed to recover deleted information from a drive won't be able to do so. This might be useful if you were giving the computer to someone else and didn't want them to have access to your data. Also, if your computer was infected by a particularly nasty virus, this will completely erase the drive to remove all traces of the virus.
