I know that for each pair of latitude and longitude one point of map is coordinated and one marker can be shown for it so every body can find lat & long of each point in map, but I don't know reverse of this feature is possible?! I mean that can I get the address of one place with knowing lat&long of it (a text format of address not screenshot of marker location!).

The term is reverse geocoding, and here is an example which uses Gmaps v3
http://demos.projectx.co.nz/gmaps3/reverse_geocoder.html
Just look at the source code.

Use the Geocoding API component to send a request with only LatLng set and get the address from the result object in formatted_address
as explained on the page.
