Hi guys I'm just wondering is bitcoin creators able to lift or increase the limit of the number of bitcoins which can ever be produced(21,000,000)?

When you answer, if possible please also let  me know how sure are you about the answer.  I need some advise on this. Thanks.

Bitcoin creator has just the same ability to change something like you and i. AFAK any such change would require a fork, and it is the 51% of the network hash that
is needed to do this. Dont worry, 21 million bitcoins is the max, there is no chance anyone would agree to change this, and every day there are new "lost" coins and wallets,
so the number can only go lower than 21 mil, not higher.

cheers
