how to interface 3V3 pins with 5 V logic ?

It's a universal topic, try Googling.

Depends on the type of logic you are interfacing to (VOL/VOH/VIL/VIH), you can add buffering logic, or resistor networks, or use open-collector outputs and pull ups. Some of the STM32 pins are 5V tolerant, check the TRM.

As clive1 says, a direct connection may be acceptable - see the datasheets of all devices concerned.

In extremis, specific logic-level translator chips are available.

Here's a couple of App Notes from NXP which might be helpful:
