You could use the substance on the left the "ethyl 2-hydroxy-5-oxocyclopent-1-enecarboxylate" and brominate it with oxalyl dibromide.
Then you will have 2-Carbethoxy-3-bromocyclopentanon and with that you can go further since you have a halogen there.
Your question is by the way not completely clear could you elaborate.

sorry ...I really didn't make it clear ....I want to get the substituted derivatives with R1 and R2
U said bromination but I don't know how to make it selective for one site .....u see this compound can make Tautomerism and be symmetric diketone

If you use oxalyl dibromide then the bromine will attach to where you have the OH written.
Here it is:

Journal; Buechi,G.; Weinreb,S.M.; JACSAT; J. Am. Chem. Soc.; EN; 93; 1971; 746-752.

As I am looking into the paper I just noticed that it replaces the OH and not coming on a R position

I suggest looking upon some double deprotonated acetoacetate esters chemistry. There are a bunch of papers on this chemistry. Essentially, you doubly deprotonate 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds making the less acidic position (position 4) the most nucleophilic, thus readily selectively alkylated. You can then quench with ethyl chloroformate to add the EtOCO- group on the position 2 of 1,3-cyclopentandione. Alternatively, I would suggest preparing the target compounds starting from appropriate acyclic compounds, that is preparing the appropriate 2,3-disubstituted succinanhydrides and continuing as per that JOC reference.

well sorry for my little information
I thought about deprotonation but the problem is that will substitution favor cyclization ....
(in the cyclic structure I think the probability is the same for R1 and R2 sites)
In order to carry out deprotonation ,it should be carried out before cyclization

Well I didn't get the quenching point

Actually, what I thought was to rather start with the commercially available 1,3-cyclopentadione (expensive, I know). Doubly deprotonate it (I think it can be done in THF with 1 eq. NaH followed by 1 eq. BuLi; check the literature), alkylate it with whatever RX you have to put there and then quench with EtOCOCl. Though, this would get you only one substituent on place.
I don't think you will get much reasonable replies unless you provide enough information for a reasonable answer. I can understand you are having some troubles with the English language, but it doesn't look like you tried very hard. At the moment we don't even know what R1 and R2 are supposed to be.

I will give an example for a compound requested ....let's say I want to prepare ethyl 3-methyl-2,5-dioxo-4-propylcyclopentanecarboxylate

To Nicoderm..I am not an expert but I searched hard and found many methods that can do monosubstitution (look below
Tetrahedron Lett.; EN; 30; 13; 1989; 1705-1708.) .
What I want is disubstitution .
The problem is that the ester group can be easily removed .
Can anyone help me?:(

These might be useful papers to look up: Kobayashi, Y.; Taguchi, T.; Morikawa, T. Tetrahedron Lett. 1978,
3555. Kobayasi, Y.; Taguchi, T.; Morikawa, T.; Tokuno, E.; Sekiguchi,
S. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1980,28, 262. and you could make the derivatives on the dicarboxylate enolate compounds and then do the oxidative intramolecular coupling to the derivative cyclic diketone.. an approach anyway
