Take a look at the text files in /usr/share/applications for an example on how to create entries for the main menu.

i can able to add the menu in main menu as a core
using
Categories=Application;Core;

is that possible create our own menu similar to System Settings or Programming

I'm sure its possible, but I don't know how its done. Maybe the GNOME or KDE developer docs can help you out.
