    Unless you had some form of auditing in place, you don't.

    There's nothing in SQL Server that tracks who is making changes automatically. You have to set something up ahead of time. There are lots of ways to do that, so you need to define what it is you're looking for in particular.

    Which version of SQL server are you using?....if it's SQL 2005, you can use DML trigger to track who made the changes.....and if it's SQL 2008 and above, you can use the CDC(change data capture) which you need to enable at the DB level and then the table level as well to track for any changes. You can use these methonds going forward if you want to track the changes.
