Change directory to the main directory of the kernel source - the one with
subdirectories like arch, block, crypto, drivers, etc. Apply patches with a
command of the form

patch -p1 --dry-run < <nameofpatch>

If that works without any error, then leave out the "--dry-run" to apply the
patch. If/when it is necessary to remove the patch, adding a "-R" option will do
that.

When you build the kernel, you should do that as a normal user, not root. If the
source files are not owned by that user, you should do a chown on that tree
before starting.
