Dear Sarthak,

you have to do two things.

1) At the beginning of your page (where you produce the header area) you
include the opencms tag library
  <%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>

and inside of the HTML header you add:
<html>
  <head>
	<cms:editable />
  </head>

2) Whenever you insert content, then in you body do something like
  <body>
    <cms:include page="some_page.html" editable="true" />

  </body>
</html>

the second step is probably different for xml content, but I have not
worked with this yet. But there exists a flash-tutorial which shows how
to use xml content and it also manages to get direct edit right:

hope this gives you some direction

Regards
Christian
