Presuming it's a laptop, most laptop keyboards either unscrew from the bottom and then have holding clips underneath the top pane beneath the screen, or they're screwed in underneath the same top pane only.

Either way it usually involves popping something off initially. Be advised that under the keyboard in most laptops would also be the connectors for the touchpad and occasionally some other things. Don't just yank it out.
