I suppose you say " you are not allowed to go whether you like it or not " .

Hello MirHosein,
Your question is not that clear to me .
What concerns the negation of "go", you have to use "can" as an auxiliary modal verb, that is used to assist the main verb "go". You use it both in the affirmative as well as in the negative form.
You can go . You can not go = You can't go " short form".
If you want to say you are allowed to either go there or not you can simply say
" You can go if you like" . It means implicitly it is your choice to go or not .

People usually say not-go by delaying slightly, and then sayign the words together quickly to show that it is going that is negated, not 'can'. A more graceful way is to use an adverb like 'just' inbetween.
"You could just not go, and that would solve the problem of what to wear."
"They could eventually not go anyway, so stop worrying."

general rule is: there's no negation for the main verb. negation always be done with the auxillary or linking verbs.
but in the 'old-fashioned' english, some selected main verbs are being negated by the word "not" or "no" without using any auxillary verbs. for example:
do NOT speak. (common)
speak NOT. (old fashioned)
do NOT cry. (common)
cry NO more. (old-fashioned)
or the classic:
see NO evil. hear NO evil. speak NO evil.
lets see...... go NOT...hmmmmm.... go NO...... sounds inappropriate, isn't it?
