This depends solely on what type of a patch you are planning to create.

Naturally, the most easiest way to patch a program is to replace it's binary executable or library files. This just means that you create an installer which searches or asks for the correct directory, and then dumps it's contents there, overwriting old files as fit.

If you have a gaming application that contains a huge file for resources such as scripts, models, sounds etc then dumping a new file is not really an option (Nobody wants to download a patch of 200 Mb in size). In this case, your best bet is to originally design the resource files to be patchable, that is, you use an encoding or encryption algorithm to which you have the appropriate decoding mechanism. Then you just read the client's file, decode it, make necessary changes, and re-encode the file.
