I am using verilog-mode.el. Can I override some variables and
functions of it in .emacs file. then that will not change these
variables and functions when I update the verilog-mode.el file?

Emacs Lisp questions are best asked in Emacs newsgroups, such as 
comp.emacs or gnu.emacs.help.

But the answer is generally yes.  If you put

(setq <var> <val>)

in your .emacs, it should take precedence over the default settings in 
the mode, as they should be declared with defvar, which only sets the 
variable if it's not already set.
