I am not at all able to paint weight paint on the plane
Weight paint is a somewhat confusing term, because you're really only painting the vertices. To be able to cover the plane with finer granularity, you need to subdivide it, giving it more vertices to ...

how can i use vertex weight value in shader nodes?
With the geometry nodes it is now possible to use the weight almost directly (however I believe the "Vertex group" node will be added to the shader nodes some day to make it straightforward)....

How to make an (open) object behave like rubber when penetrated by another
You could use cloth physics for the deformation part.
Pin the corners or edges of the rubber object so it keeps its shape by adding it to a Vertex Group. Let the physics do the rest.

Rigify: Unexpected deformation based on a given weight paint

Scripting: Is vertex weight a proper way to store extra information on vertices?
You don't have to worry about normalization. You do have to worry about clamping.
