My W-2 form listed that social security tax and medicare are withdrew.
Should I pay for this? If not, how can I claim them back? And also how can I
inform the hiring management that I don't need to pay for this in advance?
Thank you! (sorry that I have to type in english).

F and J visa holders are not subject to Social Security or Medicare taxes as
long as they are considered a "non-resident alien for tax purposes" (IRS
Publication 519).

Contact your Payroll Dept and show them this article, and they should refund
you the withheld taxes if you satisfy the requirements.
