My question is that is it possible to Store salt inside password field instead of creating a seperate field for salt?So if attcker breaks into DB , he cannot extract the salt value and will not know what salt is.


No. You need to get the salt value when you verify a password that the user enters.

You could scramble the salt in some way to make it harder to use, but that is just security by obfuscation so it doesn't add any real strength to the security.

And another question is that is it a good idea to also Salt-Hash username?


No. What would be the point of protecting the user names? They can be seen in plain text on the screen when a user types it in...

Generally user names are not encrypted, as they are so easy to guess or intercept anyway.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
