what software you use?

I would...

(use a good mic to record the sound. but its too late in this case, just gotta recover what we can)

if you are rich and can afford waves plugins you could use x-noise to remove the background noise easily and effectively, but i assume you dont have the money for waves plugins.

so...
go through the wave file and chop out all of the sections where there is no speech.

create a small fade in at the start of each wave section and fade out at the end. this will stop the wave suddenly appearing from nowhere.

use an EQ to try and take the wind noise out. it will be in the same range as the voices though so expect to have to choose between vocal fidelity and quiet background.

make a background ambience wave, to overlay the film audio. you can control the background noise and choose sometheing pleasant.(birds singing and such) this will minimise the jump between silence and hissy audio.

further mask the bad audio with music.

go easy on master compression because that will bring out the hiss.

next time use a better mic and a better room.

i personally would scratch that audio track completely and overdub the voices.(good fun)

Sometimes I like to use words out of contents

Some movies do overdub all of the sounds including voice track. For example Batman Dark Knight used Imax cameras which are so loud (like washing Machines) that the voice tracks had to be added afterwards.

Yeah can someone do that for me.

Here's my idea, download my video as an mp3 using this.
http://www.youtube-mp3.org/
Use the MP3 file to edit the sound through the editor you are using.
Like Soundbooth.

Why don't you do it? It's good practice, and the promise of 'credits' isn't that valuable for the amount of work you want doing.

Your ambition to make $1 million doesn't seem to inspire you to do much. You back away from the easy jobs. Sitting in a room recording the sounds isn't exactly physically, or mentally demanding.
