Repentance in Judaism known as Teshuva (literally Returning), is the way of atoning for sin in Judaism.
According to Jewish law, if someone commits a sin, he can be forgiven for that sin if he performs 'Teshuva', which includes:
Ceasing to commit the forbidden act
Regretting what he or she has done
Confessing before God
Firmly resolving never to repeat those actions
Aside from this standard process of Teshuva, someone who has committed a crime against another human being is required to ask the person for forgiveness, and make it up to them. If one stole from his fellow, he must return the stolen item; if one has pained his fellow in any way, he must placate his fellow to achieve forgiveness.
The High Holidays are times that are especially conducive to Teshuva. Yom Kippur (the day of atonement) is a day of fasting at the culmination of which Judgement for that year is sealed. Therefore, Jews strive their hardest to make certain that they have performed Teshuva before the end of the day.
When the Temple in Jerusalem was active, a Jew was required to bring various sacrifices for certain types of sins. Although sacrifices were required, the most essential part of atonement was performing Teshuva. Presently, with the Temple destroyed, atonement may nevertheless be granted even for such sins.
The word Tawbah (Repentance) in Arabic literally means 'to return'. In an Islamic context, it refers to the act of leaving what God has prohibited and returning to what He has commanded. The subject of repentance is one which concerns all people who believe in God, and is central to Islamic belief as well. It is mentioned in the Qur'an.
Muslims do not view any human being as being infallible; they believe that infallibility belongs to God alone. Therefore they believe that the only source for forgiveness for a human is God. Muslims deny the authority of men to listen to another person’s confessions and then pronounce him forgiven of his sin. Islam does not have a priest class. This has meant that the connection between God and man has always been a direct one. Likewise repenting to anyone besides God is forbidden. In the Qur'an it is stated:
"Verily, those you call upon besides Allah, are only slaves like yourselves."( a;-a'raaf (7):194)
Muslims view God as being infinitely merciful. At the beginning of every chapter (except one) of the Qur'an the verses “ In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful” will be found. In another saying Muhammad has mentioned that the mercy of God supersedes his wrath. It is also mentioned in the Qur'an:
"Say: O my slaves who have transgressed against themselves! Despair not for the mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. truly he is oft forgiving, most merciful." Az-Zumar (39:53)
At the same time Islam also expects the Muslims to be aware of their own sins. Ibn Mas'ood, a Muslim scholar, is reported to have said:
"A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which he is afraid may fall on him, whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them away like this (and he moved his hand over his nose in illustration)."
Islam rejects the idea of original sin, nor does it subscribe to the philosophy of one man carrying another’s burden. Each individual will be held accountable for his or her own actions on Qiyamah (day of judgment). Before that day occurs however, an individual should constantly seek forgiveness from God and work to rectify the faults one finds within oneself. It is for this reason that Muhammad said
"Allah accepts the repentance of His servant, so long as death has not reached his collar bone"
Muslims believe that forgiveness for one’s sins is not something that comes automatically; it is something that must be sought sincerely and with true devotion. It is only through Allah’s mercy that one can hope to enter Paradise.
Therefore in Islam, salvation rests on faith (which includes), good actions and hope in God’s mercy. Furthermore, it is only Allah who can forgive our sins and He is not in need of any intercessor. The proof for this is in a du'aa (supplication) which Muhammad taught his companion Abu Bakr:
"O Allah, truly I have wronged myself and none can forgive sins except you."
It is important for Muslims never to despair of Allah’s mercy - no sin is too great to repent... or too little for that matter.

We ask G-d and the person we sinned against for forgiveness. Yom Kippur is the Jewish day of Attonement for forgiveness of past sins. I can't answer for the Muslims - I don't know.
