In my Paternal grandfather's tree "Adam Mickowski" his parents are:
Dymitr Marko and Pelagia per his birth certificate. They are not Harry Marko and Seleman !
How do I get it corrected ?

How (or if) you can get something corrected rather depends on where you found the error.
If it was in FamilySearch's collaborative, open-edit Family Tree, then you can fix it yourself -- after making sure that you're looking at your grandfather's profile page, and not someone else's by the same name. (I just found a second instance among my ancestors of two generations with exactly the same names, i.e. the son who was named after his father married a girl with the same full name as his mother, which illustrates that you cannot ever identify people by name alone.) Here are instructions in the Help Center on correcting parent-child relationships: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-correct-parent-child-relationships-in-family-tree
If the error was in an index of a historical record, you may or may not be able to correct it: some fields of some collections have an editing function available. If it's available, you can access it from the index entry's individual detail page, or if it's attached to the Family Tree as a source, then you can access the editing function from the relevant profile's Sources tab.
