  There are different companies which make the computers for the CNC machines like Siemens, Sinumerik etc.
  
  I think you cannot get the software seperately, but you will have to purchase a CNC machine and the software along with the controlling computer will be inbuilt in it.

  Can anybody tell me about free CNC software where I can write and learn coding and check whether my codes are right and working.

  Almost all the popular 3D modelling softwares these days like Catia, Pro/E, NX have CAM functionality integrated with them. You can use them for CNC simulation.
  Otherwise you can get some free softwares here - #-Link-Snipped-#
  There is no need to buy a CNC machine for this.😀

  You are right. Pro-e and catia do have manufacturing modules in them. and also there are special softwares available called Capsmill and capsturn for manufacturing alone. But then these softwares are the generative code type. All that you have to do in it is to make the drawing of the component you want to define the raw billet or workpiece from which you want to machine it from. And the software automatically generates a code for carrying out the various operations.
  
  But what saptm wants is a software where we can manually do the codings ourselves.
