I have a problem. I forked a project in github.com. I made my changes, commited it and pushed to the original (what I Forked) repo. But in the original repo there are many changes, so I'd like to merge this with my own fork.

You need to add that original repo to your remotes.

Use git remote add to do so.
From the GitHub help page on forks:

Once the clone is complete your repo will have a remote named “origin” that points to your fork on github. Don’t let the name confuse you, this does not point to the original repo you forked from.
To help you keep track of that repo we will add another remote named “upstream”:

$ cd github-services
$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/pjhyett/github-services.git
$ git fetch upstream
