Yes you can provided you (and your teammates if any) have written all the code yourselves and all of you do not have a problem with it.
- If yes how to do this (Pls provide full detail)
All you have to do is: a) Decide on a license to release your software under. There are many to choose from, depending on how much freedom you want to give your users. Look up "Software License" on wikipedia to know more on this subject b) Create an account on http://sourceforge.net or any similar site c) Create your project on the site and upload your code either as a tarball or check into cvs/svn or both.
Here's a starting point for you to understand a bit about software releases in the FOSS world:
