Hello..,
Given Below is the most commonly used method:
Suppose we want to make the FirstName field of Gridview editable.

Step 1: Add 'Edit' button column to the Gridview. For that go to Gridview Tasks-->Add new Column -->Select 'Choose a field Type' as 'CommandField' & 'Command 

Button' as 'Edit/Update'.  Now a column with 'edit' is added to your Gridview.

Step 2:Go to Gridview Smart Tag-->  Edit Templates-->choose EditItemTemplate for the column we want to make editable. Add a TextBox say 'txtFirstName' from the toolbox to the EditItemTemplate field. Goto'txtFirstName' -->Edit DataBindings--->Text -->In Custom Binding, give Bind("FirstName")  // give the corresponding table column name here  //
(If a TemplateField lacks an EditItemTemplate the GridView column will be non-editable.)


Step 3:Use the Gridview events, RowEditing() & RowUpdating() 

 protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)   // invoked when the edit button is clicked.
    {
        GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;   // taking the index of the row being edited.
        
            fn_grid_fill();  // Call the function to fill the Gridview 

    }  


protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
    {

string firstname = ((TextBox)GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells ["FirstName"].FindControl("txtFirstName"));  
        fn_update_database(firstname);
     }
