Look for $readmemh in google. For custom file read you can also use $fscanf

Re: How to obtain pixel data from file hex form for simulati

Here is an example:
initial
begin
$readmemb("mem.dat", mem, 0, totalbytes); //read from addres 0 to 15
for (ii= 0; ii<totalbytes+1; ii=ii+1) $display("mem[%0d] %d", ii, mem[ii]);
end

where mem.dat should have the following format
//Memory Data File
@0 0010_1101
@1 1000_0001
@2 1111_1110
@3 0001_0011
@4 0110_0111
@5 0010_1101
@6 0101_1101
@7 0101_0100
@8 0111_0001
@9 0001_0111
@A 0000_0011
@B 1100_1111
@C 0010_0111
@D 1011_0110
@E 1110_1100
@F 0000_1001
