I have recently bought an fx6300 on a ASUS M5A97 r2.0. How do you overclock a cpu?????

You can either raise the multiplier, raise the fsb, or both. You REALLY need to have an aftermarket cooler to overclock!

Do i do that in the BIOS???? (also, I already have a 212 plus installed!)

Yes do it in BIOS. I really really REALLY recommend doing a little research on the subject before attempting.
