Please let me know how can I create an updateable plugin. so users can update it when plugin update available.
I know how to create a plugin but I don't know how to provide new updates . and what update related function I need to add in my first version.
to create updates for your plugins just change its version at the beginning of the code and when you upload your changes in the wordpress directory all users will automatically receive the information that is out of date.
To learn more about creating plugins go to the documentation:
https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/
If you have any other questions let me know here, I will try to help you :)

I am new in WordPress but I wanted to know how to check my plugin name is unique or not and how to upload this plugin in wordpress.org. Please guide me how is it possible. ?
Simple enough, check whether the name you are going to use for plugin already exists in WordPress plugin repository. If not, then hurray... you can use the name and develop the plugin.
In case it exists, give your plugin a different name.
And to upload your WordPress plugin, please create an account and then follow the instructions
https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/add/.
What if you update your version of woocommerce,What happens to our data? Does it remain unchanged?
Your products, orders and customer data is stored in your database, so updating WooCommerce shouldn't affect them, but you should always backup your database before you update anything just in case something goes wrong. You can either use a plugin like WP migrate DB, or else export a copy of the DB via PHPMyAdmin.
If your theme uses custom templates for WooCommerce, these may have to be updated: WooCommerce will flag any templates that need updating.
If you've made any changes to the WooCommerce plugin files themselves you will definitely lose those changes: you should avoid editing plugin files directly.
Finally, it's worth reviewing the WooCommerce changelog to see what changes have been made and how they may impact you.
I have a wordpress website. It will ask to update plugin again and again. So if i do these plugin update by clicking on update button, will any settings of plugin be lost ?
Whether plugin will get lost all previous setting or not, it is totally dependent on plugin logic.
E.g. I can develop a WordPress plugin which if somebody installs and updates later, can erase all previous setting. I can write a logic like that. So you can simply ask the same question to plugin developer as they can give you perfect answer.
I had program my own plugin.
Now I want to include a function which display a notice in the menu 'plugins' if I update my own plugin.
So user get a notice if an update is available.
Are there existing functions of wordpress which can I use?
Thanks for helping me.
I have been googling for a while now but can find anywhere or a good resource which explain how to add functionality to your plugin that you see when a plugin is ready for a update.
Can someone explain how to add this functionality to a wp plugin, so you get the following when updating the plugin
There is a new version of User Access Manager available. View version
1.2.2 details or update automatically.
??? can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks
That line is build-in wordpress code. To enable it, you have to use wordpress code plugin repository.
