Where can I find the location of algorithm running in a CGMiner? Say, I am mining Bitcoin with GPU using CGMiner. So, it will generate Hash using SHA256. Where can I find the location of algorithm it's running from? The motive is to tweak it...

....
You CANNOT mine BTC using anything other than an ASIC-based miner.
Period.
Perhaps try reading some of the pinned messages here - mainly point 3 - to avoid posting such ludicrous questions...

Thank you for the reply!

I understand the situation, but my motto is to locate the algorithm running by the CGminer. Let's say, I am mining bitcoin with ASIC using CGminer. So, what is the location of SHA256 the miner is running from? Could you please help me with it?

I will be grateful to you!

The clean open source code is freely available from 2 github sites ran by the 2 original major developers of it, -ck and Kano with Kano's being the most up to date as -ck locked his site long ago. Download it and do your own search for it.
If you are any sort of decent programmer that will be no problem, if you are still learning then consider it as a learning exercise.
