Do we make pull requests only when we want to upload project on my GitHub profile and fork only when we want to make changes to other one code in our computer??? Actually i am new to GitHub so I don't much know about working on others Project except uploading the project which i have made completely.

If you make a pull request to a project, you are asking to merge a set of changes you made into their target branch.

Heres a little more information from the github help page:
