The Options Area is not keyframeable if this is your Q.
You can mimic a lot of what the Numbers Effect does via Expressions. If make it clear what it is that you are trying to achieve, someone may be able to assist you.

Thanks for your reply

 

My question is how to get the whole options of the Numbers text effect by ExtenScript , not only the options in Red Area, but also in Blue Area in my figure.

The blue area is custom data controlled by a plugin (the Numbers effect) and unfortunately, ExtendScript scripts have no access to this data. So as @Roland Kahlenberg suggested, the only workaround would be to avoid the Numbers effects and use text layers instead for which you have much better scripting access.
