I Have 8 user workgroup . When I share sth any people in network can see it
and if I allow network user to change it any user can change it. Is there any
way to set limitation to it. for example I want just one of my network user
can change the file in my computer but the other just can see it or ueven
can't see it. I use win xp pro and I remove check box of (use simple file
sharing) in folder option/view.my file sharing menu change and I can set
permission to users to change my file(read,change,full control),but I can't
add network users in group and usernames. how can I add a network user in
this place .If it's impossible is there any other way?

In a workgroup, the user account database is local to each computer.
To give permission to a user on another computer, create the same user
on the local computer and configure permissions for it. Details here:
