is it possible to set the range of matlab plot
set(gca,'XTick',(6:2:14),'XTickLabel',(6:2:14),'YTick',(1E-30:1E2:1E-22),...
'YTickLabel',(1E-30:1E2:1E-22));
However, it gives me wrong yticklabel, I want yticklabel like '1E-30', '1E-28', '1E-26', '1E-24', '1E-22'
what is the correct range (1E-30:1E2:1E-22) that i could use to define this?

Both the colon and linspace operators use linear steps. If you want logarithmically spaced values, then use logspace, e.g.:
>> logspace(-30,-22,5)
ans =
1e-030 1e-028 1e-026 1e-024 1e-022
But for plotting you don't need to create these labels anyway: see Jan's answer.

yt = logspace(-30, -22, 5);
set(gca, 'XTick', 6:2:14, 'XTickLabel', 6:2:14, ...
'YTick', yt, 'YTickLabel', yt, ...
'XLim', [6, 14], 'YLim', [1e-30, 1e-22], ...
'YScale', 'log');
Use logspace to get the Y-ticks. Set the ranges accordingly and set Y-scaling to logarithmic.
By the way: You do not have to define the tick labels, if they are the same as the tick values.

Oh! thanks Jan. could you please also explain how to give 'yticklabel' like 10^-30, 10^-28, 10^-26... and so on instead of using '1E-30', '1E-28', '1E-26'??

Set 'YTickLabel' to:
sprintfc('10^%d', log(yt))
In modern Matlab versions try e.g. also:
compose('10^%d', -30:2:22)

yt = compose('10^%d', -2:1:3);
set(gca, 'XTick', (1:1:6), 'XTickLabel', 1:1:6, ...
'YTick', (1E-2:1E3), 'YTickLabel', yt);
please check this, it seems there is some error somewhere
