Well then you should improve your English and try writing some code. We are not going to write your code but rather help you with specific problems. — ThiefMaster, Apr 17 '11 at 16:13

Just get the friends_birthday permission and then query:

SELECT uid,name,birthday FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1=me())

The inner query will get all the friends' ids and the outer will get their ids, names and birthday dates.

I haven't tried this, but after reading the API docs it seems once the user authorizes the app, you will need to ask for their list of friends:

FB.api('/me/friends', function(response) {  // your JavaScript here });

You can then pull bithdays of each friend by calling:

FB.api('/USER_ID/birthday', function(response) { // Display birthdays here });

Remember you need explicit permission from the user for this item.
