I'll tell of the USA system, then of what I believe other countries may be.
First, on www.usatf.org, you have to find a sanctioned meet. At the meet you have to beat a performance standard. For instance, 100m under 10.27 seconds. The A standard is the preferred one; if not enough people beat the A standard, then they tae the B standard. If you beat that, you qualify for the national championships and can choose to go or not to go. The championships are held in the spring. If you are in the top three places at the championships, you qualify for a spot on the Olympic team. Also, you have to beat the Olympic standard (usually a bit harder than the national championships standard). If you do these, you can be selected for the Olympic team.
The basics which I guess may work for other countries are- find sanctioned (official) meet, compete to beat national standard, place in top three at national championships, beat Olympic standardd.

Check out the USATF site and specifically http://www.usatf.org/groups/Elite/becomeOlympian.asp. I'm assuming that you are asking about being on the US team.
