Here's one way to do it:
%read the image
im = imread('cameraman.tif');
% display it
imshow(im);
% add text
text(10,10,date);
% take a snapshot
frame = getframe(gca);
%write back to file
imwrite(frame.cdata,'cameraman_with_date.tif');

thank you..your answer help me a lot
btw is there are other method that can i use in order to exactly add information to the image without the need to show the image due to it create conflict with the message box which i used to give warning that image is captured. can i write the information to the image just as camera captured the image.
