<sigh>, that's not the question you asked. First see the existing documentation:

http://drupal.org/node/1702628
http://drupal.org/node/651106

Then click on some of the actual examples on the api.drupal.org page.

Then, if you still have questions, as specific questions that actually reflect what you want to know.

I have this form:

<select id="edit-field-cat" name="field_cat" class="form-select">
	<option value="_none">- - - - -
	</option>
	<option value="20">AAA
	</option>
	<option value="46">BBB
	</option> 
</select>

Select list is a Term reference field type. Options AAA and BBB are taxonomy terms, I don't want delete them from database. I don't want to show AAA option in the select list. How can I use hook form alter?

While it will do more, Taxonomy Access can be used to limit the ability to add/use certain terms.
