While your intentions are unclear as the purpose of your program, the following two lines are the root of your problem. The first defines "p" as a pointer to an integer, the second assign an value of type integer to the pointer. The pointer to an integer "p" can only contain a valid address, not an integer such as 0x2000.

int *p;
p=0x2000;

If you could explain the goal or purpose of your program, maybe I can advise you of a proper route to your desired outcome.
