If its a vector shape you can change the style so it has a border. OOoorr...you could try simply duplicating the shape (or layer) on a layer below your current shape and expanding it slightly.

What you do is select the circle. if it is the only thing on the layer then ctrl-click on the layer in the layers palette. Then go to select - modify - border. Type in how many pixels you want the border, and it does it for you.

Unfortunately if you use Modify Border it will create a Feather...not recommended!

I forgot to mention that is is basically a white rectangular, on top of that there is an oval shape, around which I want a border in different color...

MP I didn't know that.. hmm

What you would have to do with that image first is enlarge the canvas size (image-canvas size) then..

use the magic wand to select all the white pixels, then ctrl-shift-i to select the inverse, then select-modify-expand, then you can just fill it in. there wouldn't be a feather on that.

I was able to follow your instructions. I expaned the the image using magic wand. I filled it with different color. But I noticed that though I completely filled with color the edges of the oval are not very clean and sharp the way one would like to have...

Simply draw an oval with the elipse tool, outlining your oval (making sure it has no style attributed to it) and apply a stroke to the path. You may also define a style for the elipse having it automatically stroke.
