I guess you'll have to build it in your app. MySQL doesn't support
anything like this (or at least I couldn't find it).

I use a method like this:

My server has TWO accounts, when the user logs on my app with its
name/password, PHP connects using a read-only account to check if the
name/pass is valid accourding to a table named "users" at the "test"
database, and it also checks a datetime value named "expire" at the
same table, if the password is no longer valid, PHP denies access,
else it makes another connection, this time with an account with
read-write privileges so the user is logged into the app.

Sorry!! MySQL does not auto-expire any user accounts. You will need to 
script something to do that manually on a schedule you want to set.

How can I make mysql database users password with expire date?
Does mysql can do  it?

Set a DATE field with the time of expire.
Then do something like
SELECT * FROM users WHERE datefield_of_insert > CURDATE();
