Many ways :

If in your source package you modify a whole definition, you can reload the 
package by using Get. Example
in package :
myConstant=1


If you modify only a partial definition, either clear all definitions in your 
package, or clear all definitions in the calling notebook. Example one :

BeginPackage, etc.

ClearAll@myFunction

myFunction[pat1]:=something
myFunction[pat2]:=otherthing
etc.

and then Get

Example two :

Remove["myPackage`*"];
Get["myPackage"]
