Unless you model some kind of loop mechanism (sequence-flow goes back to the user-task after completion, e.g.. based on an exclusive gateway), this is NOT possible. Once a userTask is executed, the accompanying Task is removed and the process moves on. That's how BPMN works…

From http://www.activiti.org/userguide/ it shows that UserTask that allows a manager to review the request and approve/disapprove.
Either we can approve or disapprove. Where we can Approve or disapprove ? Is it handled in the code level based on input approve or disapprove.? I thought from activiti-explorer we can able to approve or disapprove.

The "approve" and "reject" capability is implemented in the UI, by offering an input-field (combo) with approve and reject-options (or a checkbox, for example). After that task, in the BPMN, you'll have an exclusive gateway with outgoing flows that have conditions on them. The condition checks the value the manager selected in the input for the "approved/reject" field…

"approve" and "reject" we can do it from Activity explorer right ?

Explorer allows you to create such a field, indeed and allows you to "complete" the task, effectively approving/rejecting.
