groupname=group1

groupdesc=groupdesc

than it accept after that i enter same groupname it override previous record for eg groupname=group1 groupdesc=groups

This is simply how the App Engine datastore works: It does not distinguish between insertions and updates. If you're not confident they keys you're generating yourself are unique, you either need to use auto generated keys, or check for existence before inserting a record.
