Hello Ankush,

A warm welcome to the Ubuntu Community

In ubuntu generally you get the source package from the Ubuntu
archive, make your changes and apply the same, generate the debdiff,
attach it to the launchpad bug and then ask a MOTU/CoreDev to sponsor
it for you. (Sponsorship means, in short A person who has got upload
access to the archive reviews your change and uploads the package for
you)

The below link might be helpful to you

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix

Apart from this you can fix bugs in upstream and debian too and
incorporate them into ubuntu.

(See Jonathan's excellent detailed explanation on the below link of
the mailing list archive

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu-mentors/2012-April/000771.html)

Also, #ubuntu-motu on irc.freenode.net is a nice place to start off
with your queries on ubuntu development.

A warm welcome again!

Regards
