if you write some programe and compile it with suitable compiler , a file which have the extention of .hex will
generate in the folder , which contain your project. you have to download this .hex file to the particular microcontroller , by
using some flash programmer.

There are lots of Circuits for PIC flash programmers , in the internet. you can easily make such a programmer , on your own.
PIC Programmers are available in both parallel port and serial port
