how to create my own edit.php admin page code or template for my custom post type

by

When you register the CPT set show_ui to false. For example:

$args = array(
    'labels' => $labels,
    'public' => true,
    'publicly_queryable' => true,
    'show_ui' => false, // <-- here
    'show_in_menu' => true, 
    'query_var' => true,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'book' ),
    'capability_type' => 'post',
    'has_archive' => true, 
    'hierarchical' => false,
    'menu_position' => null,
    'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments' )
);

You will now have to construct an interface for the CPT just as you’d construct one for a admin plugin page. You are not reconstructing or editing edit.php. Your interface will have a different address as given when you register the admin page.
