This is what I have understood from your original request.

ListCountour/DensityPlot requires a rectangular array of heights
(z-values) to be plotted, and the x and y values are assumed to be
evenly spaced. I just made up such an array on the fly only with the
intent to illustrate how to use these functions. Do not take it as
being a solution to your original problem. (The first two requirements
were contradictory.)

No. " ListContourPlot[array] by default takes the a and a coordinate
values for each data point to taken to be successive integers starting
at 1. (Online Help)"

> 4). Is there any option in mathematica for getting the surface 3D plots?

ListPlot3D might fits your needs: "ListPlot3D[array] generates a
three$B!>(Bdimensional plot of a surface representing an array of height
values. (Online Help)"
