The reason I am doing this I am distributing the spreadsheet in to web based format. So I am dynamically creating a html. For that I need to read each cell and if it is a drop down list cell then I wanted to convert it in to html select box. Also the user updates the web page which on the back ground updates the spreadsheet.
I'll go through the suggestions you have mentioned below and let you know.

Hoever, it looks as though you need to get at the DVRecord for the workbook/worksheet, I am not too sure which structure it is associated with yet but I would guess the latter. The first way I have seen to gain access to this record is the createDVRecord() method of the HSSFDataValidation class but that method is not static and so you need an instance of the HSSFDataValidation class and I cannot see how to get at that currently. If you have a good search through the javadocs for methods that return a DVRecord, that should be a good place to start I think. Hopefully, one of the developers who knows the structure far better than I will respond soon. Will keep looking myself and if anything else presents itself, I will post again.
