There is a compile error for the above program:
error: new : cannot specify initializer for arrays

How to fix this compile error?
Thanks in advance.

I think you have to define some wrapper class, because you cannot
simply assign arrays. I made some modifications to make your example
compilable, although I do not know wheter the result is that, what
you've expected.

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::vector;

enum {DATASIZE = 20};
typedef unsigned char data_t[DATASIZE];

int setvalue(UInt8 *pValue)
{
for (int i = 0; i < DATASIZE; i++)
pValue[i] = '1' + i;
return 0;

}

void displayvalue(UInt8 *pValue)
{
for (int i = 0; i < DATASIZE; i++)
cout << pValue[i] << "\n";

}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
enum {MAX_PROC = 5, MAX_OBJECT = 10000};

// I want to use vector instead of array because the array size is
determined by a variable
//data_t data[MAX_PROC][MAX_OBJECT];

vector<data_tv[MAX_PROC] (10); // compile error here!
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_PROC; i++) {
setvalue(v[i][0]);
}
cout << "data\n";
for (i = 0; i < MAX_PROC; i++) {
displayvalue(v[i][0]);
}
}

    for (int i = 0; i < MAX_PROC; i++) {
    setvalue(v[i][0]); // run time error
    }

    If I do not declare their size at compile time, then there is a core
    dump at setvalue(v[i][0]);
    I cannot change the function setvalue.
    What can I do?

    You can have a vector of vectors:

    vector<vector<data_t v(MAX_PROC, vector<data_t>(1));

    then each of 'v' vectors will have a single default-initialised
    element of type 'data_t'.

    Since I have no idea what your 'data_t' looks like, I don't know whether
    it can be default-initialised. Still, try

    vector<vector<data_t v(MAX_PROC, vector<data_t>(1, data_t()));
