You cannot. A (standard) Garch is univariate, correlation requires a 
multivariate model. There is a cottage industry of papers on multivariate
Garch out there, but the problem is hard (in both a statistical and 
numerical sense).

Tell your employer to buy a commercial risk management package. The
better ones include something like this.
