i was wondering that can we change the version of a software through registry editor or something like that.
i actually installed a game (need for speed) that was asking for a particular driver version (of nvidia) 322.xx but i was having 300.xx
So can we change somewhere software version to fool the game.

From my experience, messing with registries is always a messy business. Different programs store all sorts of data in weird and wonderful filing structures. You would have to research where this certain data is stored.
More importantly, if a game (or any other software) is asking for a certain driver, it's probably because it needs it. The developers are unlikely to limit the user for no reason.
Besides, up to date drivers are usually a good thing.

Can't you just install the newer driver? After all if the software requires it, it might not work with older versions anyway. – slhck – 2013-12-04T07:56:15.503
This entirely depends on the software in question? Have you tried changing the registry key to see if it works? Its very likely the registry is NOT used in a case like this, the driver version is very likely an API call, and one of the first checks software like
Need for Speedwould make to insure compatability with the system. In other words update your Nvidia drivers. – Ramhound – 2013-12-04T11:58:38.517
