Sir my correct name is TINKER MAHAMMED MUNEER BASHA, where surname is TINKER, first name is MAHAMMED MUNEER and middle name is BASHA. And my father's name is TINKER MAHAMMED YUSUF.
So it's generally written as MAHAMMED MUNEER BASHA TINKER. But in my SSC it is as follows. TINKERMAHAMMED MONEER BASHA. There are two mistakes, the first one is there is no space between TINKER and MAHAMMED and the second one is a there is letter 'O' in the place of 'U'. And my father name in ssc is as follows TINKERMAHAMMED YUSUF, here also there is no space between TINKER and MAHAMMED.
Where as in my Intermediate and degree(B.Tech) certificates it is as follows.. TINKERMAHAMMED MUNEER BASHA, here there is ONLY ONE mistake that is there is no space between TINKER and MAHAMMED.
and my father name is as same as it is in ssc certificates.
I however was able to made residence certificate, date of birth certificate, pan card and driving license with my CORRECT name. Now I've to apply for passport, they are asking my given name and surname. So my questions are
1> Is the Space really matters?
2> What I've to do with one letter mistake in my name(MONEER in place of MUNEER)in my ssc certificate. Is one letter really a major name change?
3> Will these errors are consider as serious by passport officials? Could a simple affidavit, suffice it? or Is the mistakes a real issue?, is there a simple way to resolve this ambiguity?
Thanks in advance and Sorry for my english.

I think a simple affidavit along with copy of all relevant records, and explanation for the mis-spelling will suffice. However, in the longer run, it is better to bring all your records to have a single name.
I suggest that you get your matriculation school records and see whether the school authorities have spelled your name correctly. If they have spelled it correctly, then you take that record before the Block Education Officer and the matriculation board with an application asking that the name on your matriculation certificate be brought in sync with that of your schoool records.
However, if your school records too have mis-spelled your name, then your only option is to move a civil court.

thanks for the answer, is "no space" is going to be a problem in future?

yes even a space matters. That is why we request people to name their children with a single first or given name and have a middle name if required. Having two given or first names is an issue.
