How big of an aquarium? If its anything under say a 55 its just easier and cheaper in the long run to buy a brand new tank. Maybe start keeping reptiles in your cracked tank

If you decide to fix it, you will have to replace the whole glass panel. Fortunately, we have an article ( http://www.aquariumadvice.com/article_view.php?faq=2&fldAuto=36 ) about this.
You can get glass cut to size at a framing shop or auto repair shop. It shouldn't be too expensive, but it may not pay to repair smaller tanks. It would be best to bring the cracked pane with you to get the right thickness and dimensions.
Aquarium grade silicone sealant can be purchased at most lfs and some hardware stores.
