how to factor x^m+a*x+1 this polynomial in F2^(2m) with m,a unknown,can I use the factor function in sagemath? If not ,how can I solve this problem?

It seems it's a*x and not a^x.

Thx for correction. I don't think Sage is capable of factoring polynomials of varying degree. But you can have a function that will factor such polynomial for any given values of a and m.
