Does anyone know if one can develope a simulation module for a
building component by writing codes in other languages like matlab and
interface the new module with Energyplus?

The answer to this depends on lots of things, including platform, level of "interaction" with the core of EnergyPlus, etc.  Currently, with the current publicly released EnergyPlus, it would be impossible.

Theoretically, it might be possible even in the current structure of EnergyPlus.  Certainly, on the Windows platform.  But the hooks to do this are not currently implemented in the code.

There are plans in the works to have a COM version of EnergyPlus -- certainly would make some interactions easier on the Windows platform, but still not at an "interactive" level with the simulation. 

As a collaborative developer, you could explore this to your heart's content.  (Writing in a different language and interfacing with EnergyPlus).
