I want to simulate a protein by using a custom potential function for each atom rather than these five potential energies. How can I do that? Is it possible by using NAMD? or other MD tools?

To be able to properly do that you *first* have to become experienced in MD. It is not a matter of the tool, but a matter of understanding. Starting a project you don't understand is a recipe for disaster.
