The better way is to change its settings through php.ini file. Find/change following options:

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

Save this code in any php file and update it in the plugins directory and activate that plugin:

ini_set('upload_max_size','256M');
ini_set('post_max_size','256M');
ini_set('max_Execution_time','600');

thanks buddy for helping me, I just figured it out. It needs to be added in the "wp-admin" folder – Debakant Mohanty Nov 29 '13 at 06:03

You can put these lines before or after any other script in you .htaccess file. Save it and upload. That's it! Hope this helps!

#Change upload limits

php_value memory_limit 34M
php_value post_max_size 33M
php_value upload_max_filesize 32M
php_value max_execution_time 600

#Change upload limits end

In your php.ini file insert the following lines of code into it if it is not there and increase upload_max_filesize according to your requirements:

memory_limit = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
post_max_size = 100M
file_uploads = On

As a summary of the above:

I add the following code in the .htaccess file in the directory wp-admin:

php_value memory_limit 34M
php_value post_max_size 33M
php_value upload_max_filesize 32M
php_value max_execution_time 600

and it worked.
