How to turn off text overwrite mode in text editors?

I have used DevC++ and similar environments also have this application. While the overwrite mode is on the code overwrites instead of code moving to right.

Like @Kokul says, you can press the Insert Key. If your Windows machine does not have a physical Insert key, you can press the virtual one, which you can find by pressing:

Windows Key > Ease of Access Keyboard Settings > Use the On-Screen Keyboard

Then press the Insert key which is located on the virtual keyboard to the right of the Enter key. Pressing the virtual key will behave like pressing the physical Insert Key.

The issue can be solved by using fn + insert(print screen) in Windows 8 or above and insert key in lower versions.
