I'm using two \hline for horizontal line and \begin{tabular}{c | c c c c c} option for vertical line. This is some part of my table:
I want vertical line on top of double horizontal lines. How can I do that?

As mentioned in the comment by Johannes, vertical rules should be avoided. You should use the package booktabs to create nice tables.
However David Carlisle created the package hhline which supports such requests.
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{array,hhline}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{c|c||}
1 & 2 \\
3 & 4 \\
\hhline{=:=:b|}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
As stated in the hhline package documentation, | gives you a vertical line which cuts through a double (or single) hline, whereas # gives a double hline segment between two vlines.
So, to correct your situation (leaving aside the aesthetic issues) simply use, # in place of the | in the argument for \hhline.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hhline}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{c||c||c}
\hline
1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hhline{=#=#=}
4 & 5 & 6 \\ \hline
7 & 8 & 9 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
You get the following output.
For further reading, please see the
hhline package documentation mentioned above. Also, you may like to see this question as well.

I know there is a package that can do this (which I cannot recall), but here it is hardwired as
\dhline, which must be defined based on the point size of the document (since I don't know the macros that define the rule thicknesses and vertical skips insidetabular)And here is an example showing actual content in such tabulars:
