You have to decompile the .mdl, and the other files that go with it, into a .smd. Then you use a 3D modeller (you'll have to find out which one you want to use; Blender is free, for instance,) with a .SMD export/import script to open it up in the editor. You can use MDLdecompile ([url]http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm[/url]) to decompile the mdl into an smd.

Your question wouldn't sound so stupid if you didn't type it out like that.

Ever occur to you that English may not be his first language?

I thought the same thing but honestly he didn't even try to make it sound intelligible at first.
"I r need knowing of how do things" doesn't like like a foreigner trying to speak English. Instead it's more like a little kid typing something out. To be fair at least he made some improvements with his new post.

Well, I made a tutorial about this stuff a while ago for animating for source in blender, but the importing is pretty much the same.

Just ignore the stuff about compiling and animating bones.
