You have to update patch on existing installed application right ? How do you deploy application first ? If you already use a VS Setup Project you can deploy the new version of this project and it will upgrade existing installations. Have a look at the setup and upgrade ids
Pl. elaborate

I want to create patch of my visual studio 2010's windows c# project .
I create .exe setup file of existing project.
how can i upgrade setup with new version???

Do you have saved last setup project ? it is really needed to create a new version of the patch. When you have created your setup file you got the one Unique ID that is needed to continue lifecycle of all patches. In new patch remember to increase file version of updated files, only those files are get copied to client having greater file version.
