First, what kind of plane are you flying. The procedures are different for each plane. In general you need to slow down, add flaps and lower your gear, establish a steady descent that'll bring you to the runway in a gentle powered glide. As soon as you cross the runway threshold at about the height of a two story building, you need to cut power and pull up on the nose gently. You pretty much try to hold the plane in the air until you bleed off enough speed for it to settle on the runway (this part is called the flair).

The above works for most planes but different planes are different. In a tail dragger for example you pretty much fly it onto the runway (no flair) and jets are tricky to get the glide set up at first because of a slight lag in power settings and reaction of the aircraft.

If your using crash detection then pretty much anything that puts you on the runway without crashing is OK for starters. You can perfect your technique over time.

I have FS2002 and usually flight 737 series and 747 series also fokker 28 and some mcdonnell douglas

Ok, when you touch down, do you have to wait until the front gear touch down to set throttles to reverse?, or immediately  when the back gears touch down you set thottles to revers and apply brakes?

Sorry. Then hold the brake.
This is all assuming that you've set down on the first 3rd of the runway.

Might add:  Check your aircraft specs to see if glide speed or throttle settings are given and trim for that.  Use your throttle to adjust your altitude on the appro 8)ach rather than your elevator.

I've never been good at using the throttle to control the glide slope.  For me, I just slow the plane down to whatever I need to safely touchdown at, then use my pitch for decent rate.  I know changing pitch affects speed, so I take a longer final approach to get everything leveled on the slope.  Then the little movements in pitch I make doesn't change my speed. It is just easier for me this way.

True on that, when i first started on fs2000 (few years back) i used the cessna for a long time, then i went onto twin engine prop, flew that for a while, then i went to 737-400, now im basically excellent with cessna and can pretty much land blind, well most of the time anyway, and king air, im pretty good..but not to good with low visibility yet, and 737/747 i can fly them pretty well, and surprisingly pretty well in low visibility (because the 'heavies' are more stable to control than the smaller planes, but on the other hand, one mistake, and it takes long distance to correct the turn) so make "small shallow corrections" as Rodd Machado would say 

good luck
