Ways to Meld Materia:

Via NPC Melder which is available in each city. You will need the materia and Gil to pay the fee.

Request Meld to other players. You can put a 'Request Melding' status to let others know too.
Do it yourself. If you have any crafter job, you can take the quest "Waking the Spirit" once your Disciple of the Hand has reached level 19. Finish the quest and you are good to go! To meld it yourself simply right click the equipment, select meld, choose the materia, and click meld!
