Hi All,
 
I would like to read a Image data already present in the framebuffer, as
I am new to this , I am finding it difficult to read. I have written one

You can simply open and read /dev/fb0 and it will dump the framebuffer

cat /dev/fb0 will also do the trick.

Google for a screenshot program for the framebuffer. fbgrab is an example.
