If you havent already, read up on the following document first: https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_classes_annotation_future.htm

Using an example from that page, you would then perform the DML inside your future call, like so:
  
@future 
public static void myMethod(Id contactId, String emailToUpdate){
    try{
        Contact c = new Contact(Id=contactId,Email=emailToUpdate);
        update c;
    }catch(DMLException e){
        //Handle DML Exception here
    }
}
