Thanks for your prompt response. I made the modifications on the aminoacids.rtp 
file in Gromacs/gromacs-4.6.3/share/top/gromos53a6.ff.

I did not modify any force field. I thought I still can use the default force 
field in gromos; isn't it right?

Yes you did; you modified the Gromos96 53A6 force field. There's nothing wrong with that; it's precisely what you wanted to do. Also note that there is no such thing as a default force field.

Here is the output from pdb2gmx. Thank you for your consideration.

Now your problem is that the .pdb file is misformatted. Your residue name columns are shifted, such that pdb2gmx thinks "LI" is the residue and "G" is the chain identifier. PDB format is fixed; if you mess it up, the contents become unreadable (or severely misinterpreted).
