I've got Joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart 2.0 and I need to know if there is any way to add tags for products because I can't find any component for this purpose.
You can find extension in the Joomla Extensions Directory, infact they have there own category — Virtuemart Extensions.
As you're using Virtuemart 2 plugins should work on your VM2/Joomla 1.5 setup.
If you need to look for older extensions you can try the Joomla! 1.5 Extensions Archive which also has it's own Virtuemart section.
I'm in the process of migrating my Joomla 1.5 web site to Joomla 2.5. I'm using all of the migration tools available, but I have a few, key, extensions, most of which are pretty simple, that are not being upgraded to 2.5. Is there any clear documentation on what must be done to make these extensions compatible with Joomla 2.5?
Yes - on docs.joomla.org you will find "Adapting a Joomla 1.5 extension to Joomla 1.6".
Joomla! 1.6 was the platform change point so even though it's called 1.6 the main architectural changes were in place for what became 2.5
I am using joomla 1.6.3 version . Now i need to enter some form data from front page and administrator can view, edit and delete that data.
For the above task any components available in joomla 1.6.3.
I've had very good luck using the free RSForm! component. Very flexible and very customizable. It is technically written for Joomla 1.5, but you shouldn't have any problems running it under version 1.6

I want to upgrade joomla with virtuemart and mojoblog component. Please guide me tell me a proper way to do this. My application a have a lot user information and order records in database. Need your suggestion.
Thanks
You are not going to be able to easily upgrade your site to 1.5. The biggest problem you face is that Mojoblog is not a 1.5 extension and is no longer supported. At a minimum, you will have to find a replacement for that. How you use it will determine which extensions are suitable replacements, but there is almost certainly an extension that will fit your needs. Blog type extensions are plentiful for Joomla 1.5.
In order to migrate from 1.0 to 1.5 you can follow the official Joomla guide - http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_1.0.x_to_1.5_Stable
