Own double-tab templates in Visual Studio 2012

So there's a trick in Visual Studio, that when you type, for example 'for', and double-press the Tab key, Visual Studio will create

for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        {

        }

Is there any way to create my own templates? As I don't use LINQ I'd like to, when 'db.A_' is typed, to make

db.A_TableName.Where(k => k.Field == Value).Select(k =>
    new
    {
        Name = k.Field
    });

In visual studio has more default snippets which is in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio (#Version)\VC#\Snippets\1033

file path as a xml format.

Also we can add some more custom snippets to our local machine.This is machine specific.

You are probably referring to code snippets. The docs explain how to create new snippets and how to add them. It might be easiest to create new ones based on existing snippets that can be found in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C# (depending on your VS version and OS).
