is this possible?
create procedure mySP
@param1 int,
@param2 int,
@param3 int
...
declare @br int
declare @value nvarchar(50)
set @br=0
set value=""
while(br<3)
begin
set @value=@value+ @param+'br'// i know that isn't correct sintax
//can do it in some other way?
//if br=1 then do next set @value=@value+ @param1
end

No - you can't reference the parameter name.
you could
select pnum = 1, val = @param1
into #a
union all
select pnum = 2, val = @param2
union all
select pnum = 3, val = @param3

declare @br int
declare @value nvarchar(50)
set @br=0
set @value=""
while @br<3)
begin
select @br = @br + 1
select @value = @value + val + 'br' from #a where pnum = @br
end

but you might as well do
select @value = @param1 + 'br + @param2 + 'br' + @param3 + 'br'
unless you can pass the values as a table variable.

Another option is

select pnum = 1, val = @param1
into #a
union all
select pnum = 2, val = @param2
union all
select pnum = 3, val = @param3

select @value = (
select val + 'br'
from #a
for xml path('')
)

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
