I want to attach "CL" atom instead of HZ
i made my pdb but when i use pdb2gmx, it adds HZ automatically in gro and top files.
What should i do to get rid of this HZ and attach CL instead.

If the .rtp entry says to build PHE with those constituent atoms, it will do so. You can make a custom .rtp entry that has CL instead of HZ.

(I edited top and gro files and remove HZ from them, it seemed to work properly at first, but when i tried to do energy minimization, it had errors in top file
 and i realized that it couldn't recognized the bond between CL and CZ):

ERROR 1 [file topol.top, line 150]:
  No default Bond types


ERROR 2 [file topol.top, line 422]:
  No default Angle types


ERROR 3 [file topol.top, line 423]:
  No default Angle types


All of these errors indicate that OPLS cannot accommodate such a species. Making ad hoc changes to the topology often does this. Look at what these lines contain and you will be able to identify the relevant parameters that are missing.

66 opls_401 5 CL CL 26 -1 35.453 ; qtot -1.06

I would seriously question the validity of doing this. Is it really correct to put (essentially) a Cl- ion on a Phe ring and call it correct? Proper parameterization is a very challenging task, and I doubt what you've proposed here is valid.
