@Umadevi, 
Js create a boolean flag in ur extension and default it to false. Put ur form inside a apex:outputpanel - rendered with that boolean flag u created. Create a command link on vf page - on click of which js flip the flag value to true in ur extension and reRender the outputpanel created on this commandlink. Let me know if u need anything.

Controller code:
public showForm{get;set;}

// default the var to false;
showForm = false;

public void showForm2(){
 showForm = true;
}

Hi Abu Hashim,

I got the following error...

Compile Error: unexpected token: '{' at line 13 column 15
Abu HashimAbu Hashim
Please use this line:
public boolen showForm{get;set;}

Forgt to declare the type. Also, r u receiving the error in controller ?? If so, please add the boolean type and re-check.
Sakthi169Sakthi169
I added the controller after i got this error

Error: Compile Error: unexpected token: '=' at line 15 column 9

And in my page,i got this error 

Unknown method 'AccountStandardController.showForm2()'

Hi Abu Hashim,

I forget to put class code....

public with sharing class MyExtension {
    private ApexPages.StandardController sc;
    public MyExtension(ApexPages.StandardController sc) {
        this.sc = sc;
    }
    public PageReference save() {
        Account a = (Account) sc.getRecord();
        a.OwnerId = [select Id from User where LastName = 'Umadevi'].Id;
      
        return sc.save();
    }
}
