VLAN Configuration on Cisco Switch

I have a CIsco switch configured with 2 VLAN, 192.168.1.0 & 192.168.2.0

How can I configure the switch such that these two VLAN can access access a internet router connected to this switch as well ? Any configuration example for reference ?

Thx

The two VLANs need the router as default gateway - your router should be part of both VLANs, with ip addresses. Then, on your router you have to make NAT statements for both VLANs

Classical example with L2 switch and router would be router on a stick.

With L3 switch you can have one VLAN that will forward traffic to router, so VLANs are not extending to router.

"Ip nat inside" on two VLAN sub-interface, so the "ip nat outside" will be on the interface connecting to WAN, correct ?

Any example on using L3 switch in this case ?

There is nothing special about L3. 
ip routing
!
interface vlan 10

interface vlan 20

instead of using transit VLAN you can use routed interface (not on all devices)
interface fa0/1
 no switchport

"access-list 1 permit 192.168.0.0 0.0.1.255"

Does it permit IP address from 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.1.255 ?  Correct ?

Correct.
That's the range I used in example.
For your example - 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0 you need two statements.
access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 permit 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255
