I need to add response headers like X-Frame, Cache-control, Pragma etc directly into the html code, may be, using attributes in html elements?

It is for help pages which are directly coming from a directory via href link.

Is there any way to add headers to these htmls?

In short: no, you cannot. HTML files are the body of an HTTP response; the headers must come from the server. Anything you could embed in the HTML file would just become part of the body.
