Hi Satya,

You can use Permission Sets to assign permissions to certain users instead of having to clone Profiles.
See Admin Setup->Manage Users->Permission Sets.  

The Standard Salesforce UI makes adding/removing Users to/from Permission Sets challenging.
There is a free app on the AppExchange called The Permissioner which does a great job of making Permission
Sets usable for larger orgs.

You should follow this link for more help:

Hi Satya,
Greetings to you!

Please try this.

For a Specific Profile:

    List<FieldPermissions> fpList = [SELECT SobjectType, Field, PermissionsRead, PermissionsEdit, Parent.ProfileId FROM FieldPermissions WHERE SobjectType = 'Account' and Field='Account.Customer_Priority__c' AND Parent.ProfileId IN (SELECT Id FROM PermissionSet WHERE PermissionSet.Profile.Name = 'System Administrator')];
    if(!fpList.isEmpty()){
        Boolean hasReadPermission = fpList[0].PermissionsRead;
        Boolean hasEditPermission = fpList[0].PermissionsEdit;
        system.debug('Read Permission - ' + hasReadPermission);
        system.debug('Edit Permission - ' + hasEditPermission);
    }
    
For Current User:
    List<FieldPermissions> fpList = [SELECT SobjectType, Field, PermissionsRead, PermissionsEdit, Parent.ProfileId FROM FieldPermissions WHERE SobjectType = 'Account' and Field='Account.Customer_Priority__c' AND Parent.ProfileId=:Userinfo.getProfileId()];
    if(!fpList.isEmpty()){
        Boolean hasReadPermission = fpList[0].PermissionsRead;
        Boolean hasEditPermission = fpList[0].PermissionsEdit;
        system.debug('Read Permission - ' + hasReadPermission);
        system.debug('Edit Permission - ' + hasEditPermission);
    }
