I have designed a PIC and there are left spaces to drill capacitors beside 7805. One is on the input and ground and the second is output and ground. What are the best value of capacitors to maintain the 5v on the PCB?
 
Read the datasheet - but it's not that critical, I always use small electrolytics because of their small footprint - 1uF to 10uF.

Nigel what do you mean by small footprint? Can you direct me on what page of the datasheet states the capacitors to be placed?

Take up little room - I've never read the datasheet, so couldn't tell you what page it might be on.

But it's essential to fit capacitors or it will oscillate, and quite possibly only under certain conditions.

0.1uF is fine, but I find small electrolytics easier.
 
You also need bypass caps across the PIC power pins IN ADDITION TO the caps around the voltage regulator.
