Hi Pradeep,

Not being a coder myself I can't fully answer your question. A quick search in the blog posts in the Developers section suggests that this should be possible.

Take a look at this post: http://developers.marketo.com/blog/synchronizing-lead-data-changes-using-rest-api/

Lead ID is one of the default fields in the instance. To find all field names, have a look here: Field Names » Marketo Developers

Hope this helps at least a little.
