I gather you are referring to the aerator where the water comes out? Most sink aerators have a thread allowing consumers to remove them when they get old. Depending on how old it is it may be hard to remove, but if you screw it anti-clockwise it should come out.
They are readily available from any Plumbing merchant or hardware store.
Aerators unscrew when turned in a clockwise direction when looked at from above. It is often necessary to grip the aerator with pliers in order to turn it. Placing a few wraps of electrical or masking tape around the aerator provides a better grip and reduces damage to the finish when the aerator is gripped with the pliers
