From what I understand, you want to make the property color inside your GoKart class public. You can do this by simply adding public right next to the color property. Like this:

public int color;   // are you sure you want to make it an int?

It also looks like you're trying to assign it the color red, which you can do by using it equals operator. In the end it should come out to look like this:

public class GoKart {
    public String color = "red"; 
}
