but we can not alter the formula of cost column to include these correct?
Correct.

second, I am confused about the formula you wrote for cost column still. (i tried to look for formula of cost column myself but couldnt figure out how).
You may only see formulas for custom fields. To understand more about the Cost field, look in help under field references.

you are saying cost column includes the rates x work which we enter the rates in the resource sheet but then you are also saying it includes cost resources which we also enter in resource sheet so arent they the same thing? I am a little confused about that formula.
Cost resources are a specific type of resource. When you assign cost resources, you specify the cost associated for that particular cost resource. Cost resources do not perform work, so there is no calculation of cost as there is for work resources. Yes, cost resources are included in the the Cost field as well as work and material resource.
