This type of problem is called "unprojection", "ray casting", or "picking". Googling for those terms will probably provide you some useful links.

The basic idea is to use the mouse click position to generate a ray in the 3D world space. It will start at the camera and pass through the pixel you clicked. Then you find where the ray intersects the scene. In your case you'd do a ray-plane intersection with the ground plane, and use the coordinates of the intersection point to tell which tile was clicked.

@reedbeta thanks for your reply . I have to do it in 2D space so ray cast is not possible . Is there any way to take mouse click position and calculate this to get in return which tile is selected ? ex: (0,0) for Top_Left tile . thank you

If you define a 2D polygon for the outline of each tile in the image, you can use a point-in-polygon test (google it) to see whether the mouse is over a given tile.
