I want to know if copy command can generate errorlevel.

I made the following in Batch:
copy Morfit.dll C:\WINDOWS\System
if errorlevel 1 echo Copy error: 'System' directory in may be locked.

I write protected system folder and then ran the batch. But message didn't apeared.

Try a echo %errorlevel% to see what code is returning.

As far as I have tested it seems that the internal commands does not return any code.
Maybe you can use xcopy instead for your purposes.

As far as I could see, the copy command doesn't seem to change the errorlevel. Nevertheless, as Guti said, XCOPY returns various errorlevels.

Samuel is using Win98. That tip you gave is only valid for NT systems.
