hi
thanks to all ,thanks a lot
at last the issue is solved ,i got a user defined function for padding .It seems there is no built in function for padding in SQL 2005.
if i am wrong please point out , so i think it is a helpful function  please check out  this ...
IF EXISTS (
       SELECT *
       FROM dbo.sysobjects
      WHERE id = object_id(N'[dbo].[fnPadLeft]')
        AND xtype IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF')
  DROP FUNCTION [dbo].[fnPadLeft]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION fnPadLeft
  @PadChar char(1),
  @PadToLen int,
  @BaseString varchar(100)
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS
  Author:       Daniel Read
  Description:   
    Pads @BaseString to an exact length (@PadToLen) using the
    specified character (@PadChar).  Base string will not be
    trimmed. Implicit type conversion should allow caller to
    pass a numeric T-SQL value for @BaseString.
    Unfortunately T-SQL string variables must be declared with an
    explicit width, so I chose 100 for the base and 1000 for the
    return. Feel free to adjust data types to suit your needs.
    Keep in mind that if you don't assign an explicit width to
    varchar it is the same as declaring varchar(1).

  DECLARE @BaseLen int
  SET @BaseLen = LEN(@BaseString)
  IF @BaseLen >= @PadToLen
    BEGIN
      SET @Padded = @BaseString
    END
  ELSE
    BEGIN
      SET @Padded = REPLICATE(@PadChar, @PadToLen - @BaseLen) + @BaseString
    END 
  RETURN @Padded
