"No man undertakes a trade he has not learned, even the meanest; yet everyone thinks himself sufficiently qualified for the hardest of all trades- that of government"- socrates what does this quote mean?

Socrates is critizing the idea that many people have of themselves, and this is the idea that they are capable of being effective government officials, even if they lack proper experience of knowledge.

He is also in part supporting the view that people in government should be well-instructed and capable at what they do, because the act of governing is difficult, and more importantly, crucial for the lives of many people.
