The short answer is using the patch command on a Unix system (type "man patch") for more info.
A longer answer is that if you really need to use a fix that John has recently sent out, he has usually already checked the changes into CVS, so by following the instructions for CVS download on octave.org, you can download a recent copy of the cvs sources with the change applied. This is usually the route I take, since I also get other bugfixes with it as well. If you want to build octave from CVS, you will need a few additional tools installed, and prior to the usual "./configure; make; make install" sequence you also need to run "./autogen.sh".
