Learn for opensource software on how to write programs: cdrdao, cdwrite,
cdrecord, burgner and of course libburn are very good examples, if you
look at programs like cdrecord i advise you to look at the older
versions so you can learn how it works.

I have a fairly simple example of how you can write a cd program on my
website: http://s1x.homelinux.net/downloads/writeiso.c
You should notice that this program uses a _deprecated_ cdrom interface
for linux, but the packet format, which is what matters, are correct so
it's still a good example.

You should grab a scsi-mmc specs and read how every packet is formated
then implement it.

> where should i found useful material
www.t10.org <-- browse for scsi-mmc specs
ww.google.org <-- :)

> what languages i should know...
C
But if you are crazy enough to pickup a dead project you can try it in
java: http://cdmirror.sf.net/
It's an old project that was to build a java writing-cds program, you
should change the cdrom interface to sg one because of the reason i
mentioned above.
