Anvesh - If you are using an inputField component on your VF page you can instantiate the object in the constructor as 

Object__c obj = new Object__c(Owner = UserInfo.Id) or obj.Owner = UserInfo.Id. This should default the owner to current user and show the users name in the page.

yes but i am creating for case  object that means standard obj....how we ll get VF page for case object

Anvesh - If this is a standard page then this is the default functionality on the Case New/Edit page. You do see the current user as the Case Owner and this is read-only. What do you need changed here? Your requirement is not quite clear.

let me clear  you my task  first.....

 

for case  object  there is a requirement  to create  a  feild  'Owner' (this is custom feild) (Other Than  Case Owner) , and  that  Owner  field  has a look up and when we click that look up  all  sfdc users should need to  be display. by default in that  owner feild  textbox  current user name  should need to be displayed.

Default values for a lookup are not supported standard behaviour. The alternative would be a VF page or passing parameters through URL that default the values.
