if you wanna insert a module in the kernel you use the modprobe command.
have a look at its man page
Code:man modprobe

but how will i create a .ko file for this.And also after inserting with modprobe how i will be able to call my own modules instead of using inbuilt modules.

loading an LKM(with modprobe or insmod for the matter) and building it are totally different tasks. you might want to check out.its not trivial to write a kernel module
