Jihad - You can put the two (or more) radios buttons within a Button Group widget. Clicking on one radio button (within this widget) will automatically turn off the other (and vice versa).

thanks its working
also when i run the program, one radiobutton shows that is checked, but i want that when i run the program, neither of the 2 are checked so i can click the button that i want to be checked any idea?
From within GUIDE, go into the property inspector for both radio buttons and ensure that the Value field is set to 0.

Hi Jihad,
You can disable the one radio button as you clicked the other one.
Hopefully, you remember my previous assumptions and example
so do it like this
function radio_button1_Callback(hObject,eventdata,handles)
if get(handles.radio_button1,'Value')
set(handles.radio_button2,'Value',0)
end

Hi Jihad!
Seems like we are just leading you to more problems!
There is a radio_bitton1_CreateFCN(hObject,eventdata,handles) function, which you can use to initialize your radio buttons. All you have to do is to go to this CreateFcn or CreateFCN function and type the as such
set(hObject,'Value',1); % if you want it to be seelcted initialy
set(hObject,'Value',0); % if you want it not be selected initially
