I am having difficulty in using Ctrl key on emacs. Because, fn key resides in the Ctrl key's location on my new keyboard.
What should I do to map fn to Ctrl on emacs?

"RET" is the Return key while emacs runs in a terminal. and run emacs in terminal, your keybinding will have no effect. But the problem is, by binding (kbd "RET") , you are also binding (kbd "C-m") , regardless you run emacs in terminal or GUI.
The Fn key, short form for function, is a modifier key on many keyboards, especially on laptops, used in a compact layout to combine keys which are usually kept separate. It is typically found on laptops due to their keyboard size restrictions.
I believe this is controlled by the variable ns-function-modifier, however, as I don't use a laptop I haven't had the opportunity to play around with it.
I guess that you should set it to something like:
(setq ns-function-modifier 'control)
There's a lovely new feature in EMACS 23 -- customize the group "ns" and you can set all the key mappings very conveniently.
