Deleting and modifying a file's contents in-place can be tricky. The general recommended approach is to read the file, write to a temporary file with the appropriate changes, delete the original file, then rename the temporary. the benefit of this approach is that it's simple reading and conditional writing. For example, to delete all instances of "foo" from a file:

FILE *in = fopen("test.txt", "r");

if (in != NULL) {
    FILE *out = fopen("temp.txt", "w");

    while (fgets(line, sizeof line, in) != NULL) {
        remove_substring(line, "foo");
        fputs(line, out);
    }

    fclose(out);
    fclose(in);

    remove("test.txt");
    rename("temp.txt", "test.txt");
}

Writing remove_substring is an interesting exercise, so I'll refrain from doing that for you. :) If the substring you want to delete contains a newline then the logic can get a bit hairy, but I'm guessing that's not going to be a likely case here, so the above logic should suffice.

I have tried as you suggest
but not yet performed

case 3:
               {
                    FILE *in = fopen("D:/tugas/file/tugas/data.txt", "r");
                    if (in != NULL) {
                    FILE *out = fopen("D:/tugas/file/tugas/coba.txt", "w");

                    while (fgets(line, sizeof line, in) != NULL) {
                    remove_substring(line, "foo");
                    fputs(line, out);
                    }
                    fclose(out);
                    fclose(in);
                    remove("D:/tugas/file/tugas/data.txt");
                    rename("D:/tugas/file/tugas/data.txt", "D:/tugas/file/tugas/coba.txt");
                    }

}

                          //if (pf != NULL)
                         // {
                                 /*for (i=0; i<5; i++)
                                 {
                                     fprintf(pf,"Data ke-%d : %d \n",i+1, data[i]);
                                 }*/
                                // fprintf(pf,"Judul buku   : %s \n",judul);
                                // fprintf(pf,"Penerbit : %s \n",penerbit);
                               //  fprintf(pf,"pengarang : %s \n",pengarang);

                                // fprintf(pf,"---------------------------\n");






                                if there is something wrong in the writing of coding

Did you write the remove_substring function? My example won't compile without it.
