Is it possible to retrieve deleted text messages from Nokia 6100, just like we can retrieve deleted files from computer?

Nope

As its DCT-4 and you can't read the flash you can't even manually search though the flash.

Then will it be possible to program Nokia 6100 to auto save deleted messages from Inbox and Sent items folders to Archive folder or to a `recycle bin' folder? so that all deleted messages will be gone only when we empty the `recycle bin'.

Not at the moment as we have no way of editing the flash.

Actually it is possible if the memory locations where the deleted messages where saved haven't been overwritten by a new message. Økokrim (norwegian police unit specializing in echenomical and computer crimes) and good data recovery companies can do this.
But it involves taking out the memory chips from the phone and reading the data in them. So basically this is totaly useless because of the costs except for searching for evidence.....
