You can add anything into the header or footer of a DOC in a template. The template has space for this and is mimicked to MSFT Word header/footer functionality. When you export to the template, then it will have any of this kind of metadata inside of it. 

The Confluence Pages are just the canvas and not the fully framed product.

1-now how can I add page ID in header?

2-is it possible to use another method to generate ID? e.g. composition of number and letter?

1. To add it to the "header", you have to hack the theme so that it shows the page ID.
2. No.  Page IDs are the unique numeric reference in the database.  You could, in theory, rewrite Confluence and all the add-ons you might use to have a different scheme, but that would be a massive project and totally unsupportable and un-upgrade-able.

I would question why you want the page id visible to the users at all though - they have some use when you're debugging pages that might not be working, but are otherwise useless to end-users.  Far better to use the full url a page is presented on, or, probably better, the short-url you can see on the page's properties.
