Come on woman, don't be sexist. I am an old woman and I have helped old men repair their flats.
First, as people described, you need to get the wheel off the bike. Then, you have to take the tire off the wheel. Repair the tube or put in a new tube. Be sure you find out what is causing the flat before you put a tube back in. There are a number of Youtube videos which show what to do, including for older wheels that do not have quick releases.
