How to perform sha256 decrypt?

About this question

 From many forums I saw that the SHA256 data cannot be decrypted? If that's really true then how is the data verified? What's the use of just encrypting the data? The same question goes for the digital signatures (which I believe is the hashed value and private key)? The significance of SHA256 is that SHA-256 stands for Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit and it's used for cryptographic security. Cryptographic hash algorithms produce irreversible and unique hashes. The larger the number of possible hashes, the smaller the chance that two values will create the same hash.
