Hi Kirubakaran,     
     
You can simply use the anchor tag to achieve this functionality

    <apex:outputText label="fieldLabel" value="{!Object.fieldValue}"/>
    <a href="javascript:window.open('url')">
     Change
    </a>
    
And with the use of outputLink:

<apex:outputLink onclick="javascript:window.open('url')">
   Change
 </apex:outputLink>
 
 refer this url:

Hi Kirubakaran,    

Please use this in your code for if condition.
I hope you understand this.

<apex:variable value="showSecond" var="myVar" />

<apex:outputlink rendered="{!myVar=='showFirst'}" >I am FIRST link</apex:outputlink>
