I can see the value in envelope summary result but how shall I proceed for changing the factor in order to get desired SHGC value.

You would need to change the properties that make up the elements in the window construction which is usually the WindowMaterial:Glazing and WindowMaterial:Gas. The calculation of SHGC is based on these detailed properties. You can also try to use the WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem object but beware of the cautions for that object.
