so is there any solution forjob scheduling in SQL Server 2008 Express edition ...?
I'm afraid, there is no way. Since the agent itself (which is responsible for the management of jobs) is not available, there is no way to create, schedule, run jobs.
You can develop a small windows application using visual studio. You'll need to write the code (like invoking a stored procedure) that you were trying to execute using job.
You can then use windows operating system feature called "Scheduled Tasks" to schedule the execution of the application. It may sound a little lengthy way to do things, but if you don't have any other edition of sql available and you want achieve the scheduling
thing, then this is the best option available for you, and that works as well.
There is one more option to use "Power shell" in place of Visual studio to write the invocation code. But, it'll require some reading and learning.

While SQL Server Agent is not available for SQL Express, there are ways to get around that.
You can use the scheduler to run sqlcmd. You just need to figure out how to configure sqlcmd so that it works with express edition.
