Q: During a Trial Defendant asked Judge "Plaintiff is lying and I can prove it But Judge didn't allow Defendant to proceed.

Judge made a judgment against Defendant. Is there any way to apply for an objection to Superior Court? Thanks.

A: Depends on the kind of trial you had. If Small Claims, as the defendant you have a right of appeal and a trial de novo. You would know what the lies were going to be ahead of time and have the proof ready for the new trial. Without seeing the court records it is not possible to give you an opinion. BTW "The Plaintiff is lying and I can prove it." is not a question nor is it a request to present evidence. Saying another person is lying carries almost no probative value in Court, it doesn't mean anything, other than you are calling names, and it reflects badly on you.
