I have a table with large number of columns and few rows. I need to insert this table vertically in one single page. How to do. I need to do the same with a figure also, wherein I need to insert a figure in a single page

I gather that the figure should be at the very top of a page, to be followed immediately by the table environment. (Moreover, I'm taking for granted that the two environments will actually fit on a single page, right?)
You could achieve these objectives by loading the afterpage package and "encasing" the figure and table environments in an \afterpage{...} statement, as is shown in the following code fragment:
\afterpage{% % defer execution until the next page break occurs anyway
\begin{figure}[t!] % not "pt"
\centering
% remaining contents of figure environment
\end{figure}
\begin{table}[h!] % not t or b or p
\centering
% remaining contents of table environment
\end{table}
} % end of argument of `\afterpage` command
I'm further assuming that there are no deferred figure and/or table environments already waiting to be typeset. If that were the case, you should issue a \clearpage instruction as the very first item in the argument of the \afterpage command. (Even if there are no accumulated deferred floats to take care of, there's no harm done by issuing a \clearpage instruction anyway at the start of the \afterpage material; it would simply be ignored by TeX.)
In addition, if the figure and table environments combined take up most of the page (say, more than 75% of the page), you may also want to issue a second \clearpage instruction, following the end of the table environment. This will tell LaTeX that you want to have just those two floats on the page in question.
A float environment is hardly warranted here, since you seem to require a specific location for your tabular environment. Why not just do the following?
See this for more details on what floats are used for.

You can use the package
rotating, which provides the environmentsidewaystable. Your code should look as follows. Notice that the table takes one whole page (page 2). There is analogous environmentsidewaysfigure.
