can this kind of magnetism be technically created?

magnetism only attracts magnetic things like metals
gravitation is not just a thing earth has, also the sun and even you but just little
no, it can't be created with some apparatus

Magnets have an affect on everything.  There are different types of magnetism:
diamagnetic: Are repelled by magnets.
paramagnetic: Are attracted to magnets and act like magnets only in the presence of a magnetic field.
ferromagnetic: A normal magnet.
antiferromagnetic: A magnet where the same poles are attracted to one another.
ferrimagnetic: Act like ferromagnetic below the Currie Point, otherwise are paramagnetic.

Interesting fact: A research lab in Florida was able to levitate a frog using a very strong magnet.

You may be referring to gravity though, which is an entirely different force caused by the bending of the fabric of spacetime.  Everything with mass attracts things to it.  The Earth has a gravitational pull that attracts objects at an acceleration of 9.8 m/s².  If there were two balls in space and there was nothing else in the universe, no matter how far apart they were, they would move toward each other.

And yes, it is possible to simulate gravity by accelerating.  The force caused by acceleration mimics gravity.  Say for example you are in a rocket in space accelerating.  Because the rocket is a accelerating and you are not, it will feel as if the floor of the rocket has a gravitational pull.  This same concept applies when you spin a ball on a string, the ball feels as if it is heavier, but in reality it is trying to move away from you due to the constant acceleration (in this sense, a change in direction) from you spinning it on a string.

You have gotten several concepts confused.

The earth has a magnetic field that attracts ferrous metals, as any magnet does.  It does not "attract everything."

The earth also has a gravitational field, which is an abstract way of describing the gravitational attraction between the earth, a massive object, and any and all other nearby objects.

Physically, magnetism and gravity are completely unrelated phenomena.

Neither magnetism nor gravitation can be artificially created, though almost any object made of ferrous metal can be magnetized to some degree.

For much more information, try an internet search on "earth's magnetic field" and one  on "gravity."

Good luck!

EDIT:  Most of the others who have answered this question are more confused than you are, and are just spewing garbage.  Don't pay any attention to any of the other answers.  Trust the library.
