Hi Mahesh,
I believe George was saying don't change the extension but
uncompress/unzip them. Through these messages I didn't gather which
operating system you are using and what compression software will work
for you. Probably the file inside the *.bz2 has the .h5 extension which
will be there after uncompression.
On linux or MacOSX boxes you can right click and "Extract here". On
windows I use a small Ant script but that takes understanding Ant.
Someone should know of a bz2 decompressor for you in the window's case.

Hi George,
Do you mean to say that I have to save these files as .hdf while
downloading?
If yes, do I need to put '.hdf' at the end of the file name? for your
information this is a zipped file.
If not, do I need to change the name of the file just adding '.hdf' at
the end of the file name
Please suggest and even first option is not opening file but showing
same error.
Regards
mahesh

If you use the "download data" button you get an hdf4 file, but in
bzip2 compressed
form. This has been a major source of confusion for new users -- it
would be nice
very helpful if hdfview could do some checks for common archive
and compression
formats -- people often get data in a form that can't used directly
without realizing some
extra steps are needed -- a common mistake with NASA OBPG files that
don't have .hdf
extension is to rename .bz2 to .hdf.
