We know that fermions are identical particles and obey Pauli exclusion principle.But what is meant by distinguishable fermions. Does that mean, like proton and electron both are fermions but they are distinguishable because of charge? And if we put together both distinguishable fermions, will they obey Pauli exclusion principle ?

This is the table of elementary particles, and if you read it carefully you will see that there are a number of quantum numbers, not only charge and mass, the make them individual and distinguishable.
Distinguishable fermions do not fall into the Pauli exclusion principle.
The proton is composite , and also in addition to charge has baryon number 1, the positron ( antiparticle of the electron ) has baryon number zero and lepton number 1, also their mass is very different. So they are distinguishable and do not obey the Pauli exclusion.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle is that no two indistinguishable fermions may occupy the same quantum state. It does not apply to pairs of distinguishable fermions (e.g. a neutron and a proton). If it did, then nuclear physics would be very different. See Are protons and neutrons affected by the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
Distinguishable fermions may be distinguished from each other by their mass, charge, spin, isopin etc.
