I have read about SVM and although I did not understand the math behind it completly, I know that it produces decision plane with maximum margin between examples of different classes and role of support vectors in the process.
I also know that SVM is a kind of dual learing algorithm(algorithms that operate only using the dot product between examples). It uses kernel functions to calculate dot product(measure of similarity) between training examples.
What I want to understand in simple terms is that: Suppose I have a similarity matrix of all training examples specifying amount of similary between any(all) two examples in training sample. How Can I make a classifier or cluster based only on this information?

You can try running SVM just on this similarity matrix. But you'll then need to provide the sikikaritirs also for new data points.
Furthermore, SVMs rely on the similarities bring dot products in some vector space. If they aren't you may get inconsistencies.
They may rely on the triangle inequality being satisfied for the distance function d(x,y)=sqrt(2k(x,y)-k(x,x)-k(y,y)). Although I cannot find a clear reference on whether or not this is needed. If k is a scalar product in some vector space, this obviously is satisfied.
Last but not least, SVMs are good for larger amounts of data, where you cannot afford to keep the entire similarity matrix in memory! By reducing the data set to the support vectors only, the resulting classifier will need much less memory and much less time. Much of the challenge of learning a SVM is to manage memory during training.
