Having a plugin that allows squirrelmail to change Dovecot's password would depend entirely on how you have your Dovecot passwords stored.

Peter your right, My Dovecot passwords are stored in /etc/dovecot/passwd and Dovecot users stored in /etc/dovecot/users

Thanks

After a moment i noticed that i could make the users change their own passwords using squirrelmail, but unfortunatly for me after googling around the Internet and also visiting squirrelmail plugin page i could not find a change Dovecot password plugin for squirrelmail.

If your Dovecot passwords are stored as system passwords, then you would have to allow PHP (squirrelmail) to change system passwords. Currently, I have SQL store my Dovecot passwords (which are actually used for a lot of different authentication purposes), so it was trivial to write a page that allows users to change the password in the SQL database and would be easy to add this to squirrelmail if you wanted, but given how many ways that Dovecot can use for authentication, a generic plugin that works for all of them would be extraordinarily difficult (and a security risk for some of the password storage methods - you don't want PHP to be able to edit your /etc/passwd if you are using *BSD/*nix)
