Hi I got the message “DAZ Studio request at least OpenGL version 1.3…bla…bla…bla…” when I opened in my notebook
I use Toshiba C600 with Intel Graphics Card, I have tried to look it up on the website, but the message “Your minimum specification not….”

Can anyone help me?

    There isn't much that can be done...other than run it on a machine with better graphics/dedicated video card. Intel is notorious for its poor OpenGL compatibility. Even if the Intel video you have is physically capable of the OpenGL level, the drivers are not.

    You can try to see if there is a driver update, but that's about it.

    does this mean I can not run on intel graphics card?

    Use something like the GPU Caps viewer:

    http://www.geeks3d.com/20150127/gpu-caps-viewer-1-23-0-released/

    that will tell you the hardware you've got.

    As MJC says, there's still hope that its just a driver problem, once you know what chip you've got you should be able to get a driver direct from Intel.

    I have an ancient Intel G33 motherboard using the even more ancient Intel GMA 3100 graphics chip and Studio runs fine.

    It means that the graphics chipset and/or the drivers for it are not up to the task of running the software. You can always try updating to the latest drivers for your Intel graphics chipset but there is a large possibility that it may not fix the issue.
