let say that we have a varchar(100) column and a index on that column
in mysql I can set the index length to any number smaller than 100.. if I set the index length to 5 then the index will consider only first 5 characters from each row
Can I set same thing in MSSQL? How?

As far as I know this isn't possible in SQL Server.
You could create a computed column that takes the first 5 characters of your column and put an index on the computed column.

I don't think there is any index length set up in sql server; it is handled internally by sql server engine.
