There are many different types of bridges that have a tremolo system. Sometimes a part of the bridge can be replaced by a standard generic or name-brand part... Or can be orderd from the guitar manufacturer. Sometimes the whole bridge can be replaced by a perfect-fit replacement or definitely by a replacement from the manufacturer.
Can't be much more help without knowing the type of bridge it is, what type of guitar it is and exactly what part is damaged... Possibly some measurements...
Is it a locking Floyd-Rose or copy? A vintage Strat style bridge? Other?... What's wrong with it?
Parts from the manufacturer are the easiest option. Though, often more expensive... and a better quality bridge that fits may be available.
Best prices for many quality bridges. Detailed measurements posted... http://www.warmoth.com/hardware/bridges/bridges.cfm?fuseaction=bridges_floyd_original
Parts of bridges are harder to come by... but can be found if you know what you need. If the metal bridge body itself is damaged, probably time for a new one.

If it's a Floyd Rose then all parts are pretty much interchangeable but just be careful when buying replacement parts...look in your local pawn shop and see if there is a cheap axe that you can pick up for a song which has a Floyd and use an allen wrench to take whatever parts you need..it's always good to keep old parts too...if you have a guitar that's totally trashed out just cannabalize it and put the parts in a special box or something..maybe a freezer bag...that's what I did...and then when I needed parts I just went into my stash and pulled out what I needed...it kept me in business and I am still jamming after 25 years playing!

theres really no fixing it. you can replace it fairly easily though. you can do it yerself or you can send it to some custom shop sorta thing. they have those at some stores.

I don't know how one can explain it in words when it is not specified. I suggest you bring it into a shop. Good luck!
