I think you really want each process to handle only its own values and not have some other processor stick in those values. > > Is there some function like "VecSetValuesStencil" similar to > MatSetValuesStencil which will insert values at locations which are in other > processors using k,j,i index?

Note that MatSetValuesStencil() only works for matrix entries that arise from the ghosted region of the processors domain, you cannot stick values into any old locations with MatSetValuesStencil() it will generate an error. You can use DMDAGetAO() then if id[] contains the numbering of your points in the global natural ordering use AOApplicationToPetsc() to map them to the PETSc ordering and then us VecSetValues(). Try it on a small problem first to make sure the correct mapping is being done.
