Hey, check this thread out - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0 that is where Shorena gave a step by step procedure on how to sign a message. If you are lazy reading, there are pictures in there, just follow it...

Care to share why you have to sign a message? It's unbelievable that at your rank you still don't know how to sign a message..  :) Anyway, good luck...  ;)

Please lock this thread if the thread that I am pointing already answer your question...

if your holding funds in an exchange instead of a wallet. you cant sign a transaction because you dont own the private key to sign it.

if you do have access to the private key then shorena has done a guide for whichever wallet you are using

You can use electrum for desktop wallet its easy sign there, and mycelium if you have android or any smartphones, just I don't know where to sign in web wallets. You can try it IF you have the and can access your private keys of that wallet you want to sign, then just export it and import it through the software I mentioned above but if you don't have it, then its impossible.
