Hiii pritam,
                Salesforce recognize every reocord with unique id in the URL . These record ids are system generated and you can't replace it with other ids, We can definitely change the URL in controller but different id means different things for salesforce..
If you want to change the URL for security purpose then you can use the URL encoding but changing the standard ids are not possible as per my knowledge because these ids are universal and same for every user.

Thanks

Hi,

Check the below link.

Use Mobile Number in place of id and query the record on the basis of mobile number.

Hii pritam,
              if you are trying to perform search on the basis of URL  then definitely you can do it. 
               If the requirement is something else then please tell.

Hello Rishab ,
             i want to hit url /ap1.salesforce.com/9828113637 and it would open contact detail page.here this mobile number is unique field in contact object.In Java this can be done using Filters. I don't know whether its possible here. Using filter i can parse this url and get this phone number and then search this phone number in database and fetch contact details to show.
thanx

Hii Pritam,
                  See in salesforce there is a unique id for every object,field,file,and record. This field is read only fields and even it is not visible anywhere except these URL. So programmatically you can't change the standard URL. As per my knowledge there is no any URL mapping feature in salesforce. Can you tell what is your exact requirement to do this means scenario. Or you can do one more thing if you have salesforce license then you can call the salsforce support and ask them.

Hi pritam,
               I am agree with you that url rewriting is possible with Force.com sites. But in your question you had mentioned the standard saledforce.
