How can I send the number of steps of stepper motor using uart ?

or

is there any way to parse the string from uart to int in mikroC

Except for missing sscanf(), all usual means of the C-language can be applied. It usually ends up in a combination of string processing and atoi() for conversion of decimal to numbers.
 
can you give some backbone for the conversion ?
 

No, because nothings has been said yet about the message format. Besides numeric arguments, there are usually elements like command tokens, field delimiters and frame delimiters.
 

The message format will be

+s_num

or

-s_num

in which + and - are the direction indicator, and

s_num is the number of steps.

more elements like command tokens, field delimiters will be implemented later.
 

A command delimiter, e.g. carriage return will be required though.

Command decoding goes like this:
- receive the UART data to a buffer
- when command delimiter is received, convert the buffer content with atoi().
