You need to be more specific. Do you want to learn how to do it or have someone do it for you? If the latter is true, find a local glass shop who reglazes windows - whether they are in your home or you remove the sash and bring them in, depending on where you live, I am sure there's some glass company who reglazes old sash

How to fix a broken window



I'm going to show you how to replace a broken window. This one was broken from the inside, so most of the shards went outward. You just want to make sure you have gloves on, and this is really sharp, and just pick up all the large pieces up out of the way. Determine what kind of window it is. On this one, the window insets inside the frame, so you're going to have to remove the whole entire frame to replace this window. We just slide the window over some to take out the frame, and lift it up and out real carefully so that you don't cut yourself or any of this glass falls. And then you can take it outside and you can proceed with replacing the window pane itself.

And we have to take the frame apart. There's some screws set up in the corners of each side- just want to unscrew those. Be careful not to cut yourself. Sometimes, near the end, it gets hard to get the screw completely out. And then, you just want to slowly pull the frame apart like that. And you're going to do each corner exactly the same way until you have all of the glass falling out. And you'll have a rubber seal that you'll want to keep to slide the new glass into when you reassemble the frame.
