Hi Rajesh,

Hers is the approach that you can go for:
1. Create a checkbox on the object on which you are writing trigger.
2. Give a condition in trigger that it will be fired only when the checkbox is Checked (true)
3. Create a button which will check or uncheck the value of that Checkbox.

You can refer to this for button:

Hi Pratik,
            Thank you for your reply, when clickon button, trigger it will fire.After that disable the apex trigger. i need a two buttons name as Enable and Disable.is it possiable ?

Hi Rajesh,

You should change the value on the button click. You can have 2 buttons Enable & Disable whose value should drive the trigger. 

Thanks,

But every time i dont want to click on Enable buttons, suppose once enable the buttons, it will work all times, here i am created the new records means i want to click on enable button right.

Hi Rajesh,

The button will be placed on Record so it will controll that record.
So if you go through my first comment above,
Keep only one button which should be say "Disable", this button will Check (true) the Checkbox. (keep the default value of Checkbox as Unchecked)
Write a trigger which will check for Checkbox, if it's unchecked trigger should run else it should not). So your button "Disable" will check (true) the checkbox which will in turn not run the trigger.
Hope it will help!

Thanks,
Pratik
