Is it possible to make a microcontroller ( say 8051) based potentiometer . ??????????? How????

A potentiometer is a very generic requirement, what do you want to control?
Is it a volume control , does it control current or voltage and at what levels, will it be connected as an adjustment pot to another device?

I'm not sure that you can replace that with a digital pot, digital pots usually have a max voltage limit of 5v.
What is the voltage across the pot in your circuit?
You can use DAC with micro controller to generate analog voltage for that purpose.
Possibly, but we can't be sure until we know how the potentiometer is used - what the control circuit is.
