A 56K Modem gives us the maximum uploading rate of 33.6Kbps but maximum downloading rate is 56 Kbps from an ISP. Why is there so much difference in uploading and downloading rate? Is there some way to increase the uploading speed as well?

Most connections have slower upstream bandwidth for consumerish uses. A synchonous connection will have same upstream and downstream which cost quite a bit such as a "T-1".
a T-1 being 1.5Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up costs lots and lots more than 6Mbps DSL connection with an upstream of 768k.

ISPs have digital modems and phone lines that can run up to 56k. Consumer modems and phone lines don't have that ability. It's the nature of the beast.
The only way to speed things up is to go broadband.

at the same time as i develop into making use of 56k modem it supply 5/kbps of downloding speed. because of my area. yet now i exploit broadband of 30/kbps downloading speed and 25/kbps of importing speed.

It's depends on the cable used by your ISP if they are fiber optic cable-you can get actual speed.If they are mixed metal cable like copper and tin than you won't achieve the speed.
