It's very simple.
Step 1. Find out why it's on. Either use the "key dance" method or take it to someone with a code reader and retreive the code(s) that are causing it to be on.
Step 2. Armed with the knowledge of why the light is on, make the necessary repairs.

The "check engine" light is there for a purpose. The engine computer has determined that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. The computer has stored one or more error codes that can be retrieved. Try the "key dance" method: Begin with the key in the "off" position. Turn it to "on" (two clicks; not to "start"), then back to off, then back to on, then back to off, then back to on and keep it there. Do this in rapid succession. Then look where the odometer is usually displayed and numbers will come up there. Write those numbers down. They will be in the form P0XXX where the x's are numbers. Then go on the internet and look them up. They are called OBD II (for second generation on-board-diagnostics) codes.
Then you can decide about making the necessary repairs.
You should not ignore a check engine light. Doing so, even though the car seems to be running fine can result in more expensive repairs down the road.
