Where can I set the file version comments..?

We can get it by

FileVersionInfo fv = 
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(
                   Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
var comment = fv.Comments;

Then how can I set it so that I can show the same somewhere..

    For .NET Assemblies you can set the File Version Comments using the AssemblyDescriptionAttribute, which you usually put in the AssemblyInfo.cs file in your project when using Visual Studio. 

    [assembly: AssemblyDescription("The assembly does xxx by yyy")]

    For other types of executables the file version is set using a resource in the file.

    The different assembly level File Version attributes maps as follows:

    • FileVersionInfo.Comments = AssemblyDescription
    • FileVersionInfo.CompanyName = AssemblyCompany
    • FileVersionInfo.FileDescription = AssemblyTitle
    • FileVersionInfo.FileVersion = AssemblyFileVersion
    • FileVersionInfo.LegalCopyright = AssemblyCopyright
    • FileVersionInfo.LegalTrademarks = AssemblyTrademark
    • FileVersionInfo.ProductName = AssemblyProduct
    • FileVersionInfo.ProductVersion = AssemblyInformationalVersion
