I want to change the values of categorical array, so that i can create figure from plots.I want to convert the plot into figure. For which i want app.UIAxes.XLim to be numerical not categorical. For example: currently-
app.UIAxes.XLim = 1×2 categorical array -> urban freeway
I want
app.UIAxes.XLim = 1x2 Matrix 2 6

You cannot convert an existing categorical ruler to numeric ruler. If you have a categorical ruler and need numeric ruler it is typically easiest to destroy the entire axes and recreate it.
In theory you could also just replace the ruler property in the axes. However there are No User Serviceable Parts for creating rulers, so you would have to create another axes with the kind of ruler that you wanted and copy that on top of the existing ruler property.

Traditional figures support categorical rulers by the way, no need to switch to numeric, at least not for the last few years.

findgroups is one way to convert categorical array to numeric
numeric = findgroups(categorical_array);

app.UIAxes.XLim = double(app.UiAxes.XLim)
The double will retrieve the numeric encoding associated with the categorical values.
However rulers know the data type the ruler was constructed with and will either refuse to make the change or will convert the values back to the datatype associated with the ruler.
Categorical rulers are a different graphics object than numeric rulers. You cannot change to a numeric ruler just by changing the xlim: you would need to replace the entire ruler.

"but i want to convert the plot into figure"
See Walter Roberson's comment above.
If that's not the issue, then explain the reasons behind the request. Doesn't seem rational on the face of it to replace the meaningful categorical names with numbers.

See the above comment, but if there is some reason you really, really need/want the numbers instead on the axes, then
hAx=gca;
hAx.XTickLabel=['{2}';'{6}'];
Alternatively, create the category names as numeric when create the categorical variable and those will be what shows up on the axes.
