A patch is a program that is installed on top of the main version of the game. It usually adds something new, or fixes bugs (errors, inconsistencies), or both.
To activate them, download and install them in the game's folder - and that should be it.
I think you can find the game version in the properties... right-click on the game's shortcut, go to the "version" tab, and look for "product version".
