Not sure exactly what task you're talking about. His complaint
was that he couldn't write numbers beyond 0-10 to his LCD, which
is a pretty weird complaint. However, it just dawned on me that
he was probably just sending hex values to the LCD, such as
00 01 02 03, etc., and his LCD is only 20 columns wide, and
it ran off the end of the row after 10 hex chars. In other words,
it wasn't an eeprom problem at all, it was a newbie problem.

With reference to your question, the following thread contains a demo
program for writing a couple bytes to data eeprom and reading them back.

Forgetting for a moment that you are going to wear-out the EEPROM quickly with your code...--------
i need to write / save each value (number) after click and display this value on LCD. Each button click will replace old value and write the new one on the same place ( 1,2.. 500 ). If i read the text above then im doing something wrong.

If this is the problem then how would you save / display 500 presses
on button...

This program will display the number of times a button has been
pushed. It writes the count to eeprom, and if the PIC is powered-down,
and then powered back up, it will restore the count value to the
previously saved value. I think this is what you want to do,
but I really don't know. Anyway, this should give you some ideas.
Code:
#include <16F877.H>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock = 4000000)
//#use rs232(baud = 9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

#include <lcd.c>

#ROM 0x2100 = {0x00}     // Initialize EEPROM address 0 = 0x00.

#define BUTTON_PIN  PIN_B0   // This pin must have a pull-up.
#define DEBOUNCE_PERIOD_IN_MS  10
#define DEBOUNCE_COUNT  2

void wait_for_keypress(void);

//====================================
void main()
{
int8 count;

port_b_pullups(TRUE);

lcd_init();

// Read count that was stored in EEPROM and display it.
count = read_eeprom(0);
lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
printf(lcd_putc, "%u  ", count);


while(1)
  {
   wait_for_keypress();
   count++;
   write_eeprom(0, count);

   lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
   printf(lcd_putc, "%u  ", count);
  }

}
//==================================

void wait_for_keypress(void)
{
char count;

// First, wait for the button to be released.   With the debounce
// values as given above, the button must be in the "up" state
// for two consecutive readings, spaced 10 ms apart.

count = 0;

while(1)
  {
   if(input(BUTTON_PIN) == 1)
      count++;
   else
      count = 0;
   
   if(count == DEBOUNCE_COUNT)
      break;

   delay_ms(DEBOUNCE_PERIOD_IN_MS);
  }

// Now that the button is up, wait until the user presses it.
// In order for the keypress to be considered valid, based
// on the debounce values listed at the beginning of the
// program, the button must be held down for two consecutive
// readings, spaced 10 ms apart.

count = 0;

while(1)
  {
   if(input(BUTTON_PIN) == 0)
      count++;
   else
      count = 0;
   
   if(count == DEBOUNCE_COUNT)
      break;

   delay_ms(DEBOUNCE_PERIOD_IN_MS);
  }

}
