Thanks for comments. I think I fall short in expressing what do I want to do.
I want to write 25 (2 to power of 5). 5 should be placed in power position,
which means should be super indexed (I am not sure about this expression, but
I mean 5 should be in a higher position). I know that I can go to
tools/cell/format cell and do this, but it is time consuming esp if I want to
do it for many times. In word, there is an icon which shows x2 (where 2 is
placed in a higher position. means that x to power of 2) and by selecting 2
and clicking the icon it do everything. I don't know why excel doesn't
provide this icon? How can make it myself?

You can either go to Insert-Symbol and select the ^, but you would
have
to do this everytime you wanted the symbol.

To put a button in your toolbar go to View-Toolbars-Customize. Under
categories select "Insert". Under commands scroll down until you see
the ^.
Select it and drag it to somewhere on your toolbar and it will insert a
button.

What do you mean Shift+6 didn't work? Did it put in nothing or just
another symbol? Make sure you are using the numbers above the keyboard
for this.
