Assuming you father was born in the UK, you already are a British citizen, and just need to apply for a passport. You will need a copy of your father's birth certificate.
If your father was not born in the UK he might still be able to pass on citizenship depending on why he was born outside the UK (was one of his parents working for the British government? E.g. working at an embassy or in the armed forces stationed outside the UK.)
