If the object is small enough, you can use the water displacement already suggested by others. If it is not, you need to approximate it to a regular object and compute by graphical methods.

using the water displacement method. you will need a graduated cylinder or a beaker. first you must fill the cylinder or the beaker with water. you can now see the volume of the liquid. record it. then place the irregular solid in the cylinder or beaker. you will see the water rise. record the volume. subtract the previous record from the latest record. that is the volume of the irregular solid.
perhaps you could search for some information regarding WATER-DISPLACEMENT METHOD
