Complete English, please, or I fear your red rep will start reproducing

Look into using triggers to add the Chaos ability to a unit.

Sorry i dont know english perfectly (and + i dont care about rep) :>

For minor English lesson, don't use so many "..."; it makes your post harder to read. Rather, experiment using commas and periods, if you understand their use, over "..."s.

Your edit message had much better English. No "..."s and thus more readable. I can read poor spelling (innate human ability) over a spatter of unneeded characters.

For the Chaos ability, check out http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=81742 and look for "Sca1 (Chaos) ". Some valuable information there

However, you will need to find it in the Object editor. It's under Human >> Units >> Chaos. Simply change the New Unit Type to whatever the archer unit is with the ranged attack. Then, when you pick up a bow, use a trigger to add the ability to the unit. You'll need to make an ability for each unit that can pick up the bow, so that when they drop it a chaos ability switches them back.

And, if you read the thread that I linked to, you will notice that this doesn't work well on heroes. I don't know what system you're looking for, but anything along what you seem to be trying to make edges towards the pitfall of tediousness.
