acmbibliographies

I used acm style (https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/Bibtex_bibliography_styles)
but I want it in "normal mode" not in uppercase , it is possible to modify acm style?

[1] EINSTEIN, A. Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Ko ̈rper. (German) [On the electrodynamics of moving bodies]. Annalen der Physik 322, 10 (1905), 891–921.

[2] GOOSSENS, M., MITTELBACH, F., AND SAMARIN, A. The LATEX Companion.
Addison- Wesley, Reading, Massachusetts, 1993.

[3] KNUTH, D. Knuth: Computers and typesetting.

I want to have like this

It's not uppercase, but caps and small caps.

Since the style uses \sc (deprecated since 1995), it's quite easy to get rid of it:

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{test,
  author={A. Uthor},
  title={Title},
  journal={Journal},
  year=2015,
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\apptocmd{\thebibliography}{\renewcommand{\sc}{}}{}{}

\begin{document}
\cite{test}

\bibliographystyle{acm}
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}

The filecontents* environment is just to make the example self-contained. Use your own bib file in the argument to \bibliography.

Contrary to the plain bibliography style, the acm style uses a lastname/firstname scheme to display author names, and it is common for this scheme to put a comma between the different name parts. Have a look at the ACM LaTeX style guide -- commas between last name and first name are the way it's meant to be.

You can first prepare your bibliography in the usual way. Then you can set the numbers you prefer in the way shown below, by adding the code between %%START and %%END.

The filecontents environment is used just for the example, use your own database.

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{Knuth1984texbook,
    Author = {Knuth, D.E.},
    Title = {The \TeX book, volume A of Computers and typesetting},
    Publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
    Year = {1984},
}
@book{Chomsky1957,
    Address = {The Hague},
    Author = {Noam Chomsky},
    Publisher = {Mouton},
    Title = {Syntactic Structures},
    Year = {1957},
}
@book{Chomsky1965,
    Address = {Cambridge Mass.},
    Author = {Noam Chomsky},
    Publisher = {MIT Press},
    Title = {Aspects of the Theory of Syntax},
    Year = {1965},
}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xpatch} % also loads expl3

%%START
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd{\@bibitem}
  {\item}
  {\item[\@biblabel{\changekey{#1}}]}
  {}{}
\xpatchcmd{\@bibitem}
  {\the\value{\@listctr}}
  {\changekey{#1}}
  {}{}
\makeatother

\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_new:Npn \changekey #1
 {
  \str_case:nVF {#1} \g_changekey_list_tl { ?? }
 }
\cs_new_protected:Npn \setchangekey #1 #2
 {
  \tl_gput_right:Nn \g_changekey_list_tl { {#1}{#2} }
 }
\tl_new:N \g_changekey_list_tl
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \str_case:nnF { nV }
\ExplSyntaxOff

\setchangekey{Knuth1984texbook}{9}
\setchangekey{Chomsky1957}{3}
\setchangekey{Chomsky1965}{7}
%%END

\begin{document}
\section{First section}

This document is an example of \texttt{thebibliography} environment using 
 bibliography management. Three items are cited: \emph{Syntactic Structures} 
book \cite{Chomsky1957}, \emph{Aspects} \cite{Chomsky1965}, and  
Donald Knuth's \TeX book \cite{Knuth1984texbook}.

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}

_{I used the same data as Alan Munn just for laziness.}
