It might help when you mention which programmer you are using. My ICSP programmer (Wisp628) is designed to take its Vdd from the target, but it can be 'fed' by another means, in which case the Vdd's should not be connected. BTW it might be wise to make sure that the LVP pin stays low. > When i programme my target, what's happen to the I/O that are > connected to > the other word. Do they become input, output, or stay unchange ? During programming all I/O pins that are not involved in the programming are inputs. But in the whole programming process there might be brief periods where your program is running.
