Move the king two spaces over to the side you are castling on, and then the rook will go over automatically.

In castling U R supposed to move the King two places towards the Rook- and Rook on adjacent square of the moved King. Example here is of King's side castling.

Above example is of Queen's side castling.
Note:
  1. The king must never have moved;
  2. The chosen rook must never have moved;
  3. There must be no pieces between the king and the chosen rook;
  4. The king must not currently be in check.
  5. The king must not pass through a square that is under attack by enemy pieces.
  6. The king must not end up in check (true of any legal move).
  7. The king and the chosen rook must be on the same RANK.
