The most common means of enforcing a civil money judgment against an individual are bank levy and wage garnishment. You may want to Where the judgment debtor is a landlord, then levying on rents receivable would also be a viable option. You will need to get a writ of execution from the court in order to do any of these things. You can also obtain an abstract of judgment from the court and record it with the county recorder in the county where the debtor owns property.
In addition to the link provided in the prior response, you can get a wealth of information by visiting the county law library and looking at volume 2 (Ch. 6) of The Rutter Group's Enforcing Judgments and Debts practice guide.
