Take a look at an application I publish called "Script Timer". It
will do what you want. It has a wide variety of scheduling options:
specified time of the day, week, month, or year, on a repeating
interval, and when certain events occur such as the start or end of
idle of your computer, as well as 6 other events. More details can be
found at <http://www.appsandmore.com>.
Scheduling an Applescript using iCal is another possibility, though
less convenient in my (probably biased) opinion.
As Jerry points out, unless your program automatically runs the
desired task when it launches, that task will have to be
Applescriptable. In that case you would schedule your script with
Script Timer, iCal, or launchd.

hi,
I want to schedule my application on a specified time.
When the application is not running , the application should open on the
specified time and process the scheduled task .
If the application is running , the scheduled task should be processed
within the application [without opening in a new application].
I had tried using a plist file and launchd to do it, but it always opens in
a new application.
Is this can be done using applescript ?
thank you in advance.
