Bonnie says to use a saw. Cut around the entire hole removing the piece with the hole in it. Jerry says to use a hole extractor.

If you have a small hole (nail or screw) then you can use spackling if it's a large hole you will need some drywall
and some 90 set drywall compound which is a powder when mixed with water it makes a paste 1st cut the drywall a little larger than your hole hold the patch up to the hole and trace around it with a pencil cut around the tracing 2 you will need to screw some furring strips on the other side of the existing drywall than place the patch over the hole screw it into the furring strips now mix your drywall compound take at least a 6" drywall knife and feather in the seams and sand smooth re coat as necessary to get the desired result

Small hole buy wallboard joint compound. Big hole cut a square and fit a backing 1" by 4" with 2 or 3 inch overlapping each side(Note: To hold the backing you may want to insert a screw 1/2 inch in the center and hold the head), install with drywall screws. Then cut a piece of drywall to fit the square, mud well and joint drywall tape for support. First coat may shrink, sand and apply 2nd coat, and sand again to finish and paint.

How big are the holes? How many of them are there? What made them? How deep are they? What is the wall made of? Inside or outside wall? Do you want a quick fix or a high quality fix? What kind of finish is on the wall, e.g. paint, paper, etc.
Without that information, you will only get generic answers that will very likely not be about what you are doing.

Lightweight spackle. Because there is very little water in this ready to use spackle, it shrinks very little if at all. it's also somewhat flexible so it won't come out easily.
