Is there any way i can obtain the current mouse coordinate
using matlab?i've found out the way to position my pointer
anywhere on the desktop but how to obtain the current
position of the pointer?

When you create a figure (with GUI or not), the following
Callback functions are available to capture mouse actions:

WindowButtonDownFcn
WindowButtonMotionFcn
WindowButtonUpFcn
WindowScrollWheelFcn

thanks for the information.But I'm looking for
implementation of mouse events without needing to draw
figures or any additional windows.I simply want to navigate
my desktop and operate the mouse normally but by using a
MATLAB codes only.For example if i ant to click an icon then
i should be able to click on it only by the MATLAB code that
i write to program my mouse.

If you are trying to move and click your mouse with matlab
code you can search this site for java robot to find advise
that has already been given.
