inserting data into custom objects which are not tabs

how do we insert data into custom objects which are not tabs?

I assume you are trying to input data using the user interface and not the API or Apex?

If your custom object has a relationship to another object (say Account for example), you will have to enable the custom object's related list in the Account page layout (Setup -> [App Setup] Customize-> Accounts -> Page Layouts).  You will then be able to add/remove/edit the custom object as it relates to its parent record (as long as your security model allows you to access the object and its records).

If your custom object does not have a relationship to any other objects in Salesforce, I would suggest creating a tab for it :smileyhappy:
