you have to go to www.sss.gov find the closest office of social security next to where you live.
go with your id, passport and green card and apply for a social security card. it will be mailed to you 4 weeks after it is approved.

How did you get your green card? Did you interview for it outside the US, at a US consulate? If yes, the Social Security card should be automatically delivered to within 1 month after you were admitted to the US as a permanent resident, unless you didn't request it on the DS-230 form that you submitted to the consulate.
