Patching involves downloading and compiling Wine from source. The wiki has instructions for building Wine at http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages (32 bit) and http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit (64 bit). How to patch can be found in the instructions for regression testing, http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting (scroll down to the Patching Your Git Tree section). The regression testing wiki page also has clear step-by-step instructions for building Wine, so you might want to read the whole thing. The file you linked to IS a patch. Download it and apply it following the instructions linked to above.
