Sorry - I was sleeping, hence the delay on my part.

Simply crop the image with imcrop(), then call imclearborder(), then pad with padarray():

margin = 50; % Whatever
croppedImage = imcrop(binaryImage, [margin, margin, columns - 2 * margin, rows - 2 * margin]);
binaryImage = imclearborder(croppedImage);
binaryImage = logical(padarray(binaryImage, margin));

thank you very much for your response..but with that method, would it work if the size of the object varies?? the picture i posted above was just an example of the pictures whose object near the border i want to remove...

[Image Analyst]

No. It will remove any object, no matter what size, if it enters the margin. If you want size based filtering, see bwareafilt() or bwareaopen().

And be sure to be aware of stereology
