I'm a little confused by some of your terminology...

But if you want to create a new branch from revision 1 of the trunk,
then you would do this (assuming $REPO is your repository URL):

svn copy -r 1 $REPO/trunk $REPO/branches/somebranch \
-m "Creating branch somebranch from revision 1 of trunk"

Now you can "svn checkout" the new branch and make changes to it.

Your second sentence above ("Now, I have made some changes in
revision 1") makes it sound like you have already made these changes
somewhere. Did you perhaps already get a working copy of trunk,
backdate it to revision 1 ("svn up -r 1"), and start making your
changes there? If so, then you should "svn switch" that working copy
to the new branch.
