Cómo is "how" in English. Pides is the informal version of the verb pedir, which means "to ask for" or "order". Ayuda is "help". Para means literally for the purpose of, and in this case is translated simply with the English "to". Hacer is the verb "to do", or make in some cases. Algo is literally "something".
Altogether, your sentence means in English just what cmromano said: How do you ask for help to do something? Just wanted to break down the parts of the sentence for you. (By the way, I did it all off the top of my head, no computers involved.) =)
