The issue IDs (and about all other numerical IDs used in Redmine) are automatically generated by your database when creating the respective object (issue, journal, user, custom field, ...) from a single sequence. The exact mechanism depends on the chosen database. As such, these IDs can not be chosen arbitrarily.

Well, I mean , can I modify this serial number? Modify according to my own defined rules?

No, not really. Redmine expects strictly numeric IDs and databases can also only create strictly numeric IDs from a linear sequence. As these IDs are assumed to never change and never to be re-used, we use these IDs in various places to cross-reference pieces of data, e.g. to associate journals with issues.
Using alternative identification schemes (as e.g. in Jira where you may have project-local IDs) is not possible in Redmine. One reason is that we allow to move issues between projects which would result in an ID change, which again is something we do not support.
