hi
If a program runs on a port ,then it can not be used by other program until the port is released. but how does the browser deals with multiple web pages with the same http port(80).

It's not the web browser but a web server which listens at port 80. :)

If there is no port assigned for receiving data,then how does the process identifies its data and rejects other.

The browser doesn't use port 80. It gets a not-quite-random port number from the system.
