i have function generator and that is of range upto 3 mhz. Is there any possible way to get above 6mhz signal using my 3mhz function generator .Thank you in advance

Surely you mean 3MHz (mHz would be milliHertz, not very useful) :)
You can use a frequency doubler or a PLL, but you will lose the ability to generate different waveforms, as a function generator usually does. These circuits will generate a higher square wave signal only, no triangular or sine waveforms.

Thanks for you reply.Today my professor said we dont need any funciton generator we can also use the received radio signal to work with circuits (like how we use function generator ).is that making any sense to you peoples

Depends on what you want to do with the signal and which signal you tune in.
