How do I alter the user profile using Execute Immediate statement?
The Alter Statement would be like(in a loop):
execute immediate 'ALTER USERNAME' ||<value retrieved from a table> ||'PASSWORD EXPIRE'
I guess in this we have to use a variable without which Dyn.SQL won't work.

Kindly help me with the same.

You only altering the user. Not the profile.
scott@9i > declare
  2  cursor c1 is select username from dba_users where username in ('OLD','NEW');
  3  begin
  4  for mag in c1 loop
  5  execute immediate ('alter user '||mag.username||' password expire');
  6  end loop;
  7  end;
  8  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

scott@9i > connect old/old
ERROR:
ORA-28001: the password has expired


Changing password for old
New password:
Retype new password:
ERROR:
ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s)

Thanks for the reply.
I was caught up in the wrong format of the 'execute immediate' statement.
