I am looking on this site a topic about "can". Ans how it works when you put it to the verb.
I know it is like this:
I can come, gelebilirim. Ans so on, but I can't find explanation about this.

I guess you have some knowledge on how to conjugate a verb, right?
gelebilmek = to be able to come is conjugated just like any other verb. There you can go.
gelirim = I come
gelebilirim = I am able to come (or I can come)
geldim = I came
gelebildim = I was able to come (or I could come)
geleceğim = I will come
gelebileceğim = I will be able to come
geliyorum = I am coming
gelebiliyorum = I am being able to come (whatever it means in English)

OK. Negative form is a bit different. You need to use
Gelememek instead of Gelebilmemek
So
Gelmemek = not to come
Gelememek = not to be able to come
gelmem = I don't come
gelemem = I am not able to come (or I cannot come)
gelmedim = I didn't come
gelemedim = I was not able to come (or I could not come)
gelmeyeceğim = I will not come
gelemeyeceğim = I will not be able to come
gelmiyorum = I am not coming
gelemiyorum = I am not being able to come (whatever it means in English)
