How to generate a matrix ( n x m ) where i need this number represent a number of ones in each row like this
A = [ 2 3 1
3 1 1
4 1 0
2 2 0 ]
I need to generate a matrix like this
X = [ 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1
1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1
1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0
0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 ]
Where every numbers in matrix A must be at least zero between its numbers of one

It sounds like the poster wants something like run-length decoding but where only the length of the runs of 1's are given and it's assumed there are 0's between those runs. But you're right, the poster needs to clarify the rules for how many 0's should be between the runs. It's not just one 0 between each run, as seen in rows 2, 3, and 4.

It's almost what you are asking for!
A = [ 2 3 1
3 1 1
4 1 0
2 2 0 ]
[n,m]=size(A);
ii=max(sum(A,2));
no=ii+m-1;
out=zeros(n,no);
for k=1:n
r=A(k,:);
nz=no-sum(r);
q=num2cell(zeros(1,m-1));
idx=randi(m-1,1,nz-m+1);
for kk=1:numel(idx)
q{idx(kk)}(end+1)=0;
end
aa=[];
for pp=1:m-1
aa=[aa ones(1,r(pp)) q{pp}];
end
aa=[aa ones(1,r(end))];
out(k,:)=aa;
end
out

[m,n] = size(A);
X = zeros(m,sum(A,2) + n - 1);
a = arrayfun(@(x)ones(1,x),A,'un',0);
Xc(:,1:2:2*n-1) = a ;
Xc(:,2:2:end) = {0};
for ii = 1:m
b = [Xc{ii,:}];
X(ii,1:numel(b)) = b;
end

I think this is What you want:
A = [ 2 3 1
3 1 1
4 1 0
2 2 0 ]
[n,m]=size(A);
ii=max(sum(A,2));
no=ii+m-1;
out=zeros(n,no);
for k=1:n
r=A(k,:);
nz=no-sum(r);
q=[ cell(1) num2cell(zeros(1,m-1)) cell(1)];
idx=randi(m+1,1,nz-m+1);
for kk=1:numel(idx)
q{idx(kk)}(end+1)=0;
end
aa=q{1};
for pp=1:m
aa=[aa ones(1,r(pp)) q{pp+1}];
end
out(k,:)=aa;
end
out
