If you're asking this then you must be a newbie to Photoshop so I'll start at the beginning:
At the bottom of the layers pallette, second from the left, is the "layer-style" icon. It's black circle with a white "f" in it. If you click this icon you'll get a list of styles and the second from the top is "Drop Shadow"
Click on it and play with the interface.
(This won't work on a background layer. so you'll have to duplicate it.)
