I am using Linux Mint. When I try to update packages using the command sudo apt-get update, I get this problem:

There is no trusly distro but there is a trusty ("Trusty Tahr", aka Ubuntu 14.04)(and http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/trusty is a valid URL). And AFAIK there is no Ubuntu distribution called "rafaela" (the "r" distro is "Raring Ringtail" aka Ubuntu 13.04).
So, check your URLs.

"rafela" is the name of a Linux Mint release, you won't find it in the Canonical repos (who are meant for Ubuntu). Where did you find these URLs? – xenoid – 2017-07-07T07:55:18.390
i don't know what's the matter besides i don't hve those URLs in ressource.list – Sihem Hcine – 2017-07-07T08:24:25.720
this is what i hve in ressource.list – Sihem Hcine – 2017-07-07T08:24:51.330

When I copy/paste the URL in your comments (I couldn't do that with your initial question, since it's a screenshot) and use it with wget, I get:
wget http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/rafaela/partner/binary-amd64/Packages

If you wonder what %E2%80%8C%E2%80%8B are doing in the URL, they are the bytes of the UTF-8 encodings of two special characters: U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER and U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE. These characters are really in your post/comment... here the source of the SE page I'm reading:
Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/rafaela/partner/bi‌​nary-amd64/Packages
So the question is: did you copy/paste these URLs from a Word document? If so copy them to something that only accepts ASCII (a really basic editor) and clean the mess.

icopy and pasted it from the terminal – Sihem Hcine – 2017-07-07T09:26:17.183
So you entered the whole URLin the terminal by typing it initially? (because I I copy your URL to my terminal, the special characters don't show... it's only wget that reports them. So they can be there... Did you try to use these URLs with wget? – xenoid – 2017-07-07T09:36:02.530
with wget http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/rafaela/partner/binary-i386/Packages and wget http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/rafaela/partner/binary-amd64/Packages i get : HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found – Sihem Hcine – 2017-07-07T09:56:41.173
