I changed my break pad. For 1st time in 2 years. I didn't change the rotor cuz it still looked and feels good.
After I change it I took it for test everything is good. Stops faster. Drives good but... while I'm driving it I hear like grinding sound. Like im holding the breaks n still moving. But I don't feel a differents when I'm driving. The sound stop after I press the breaks.
Is it cuz its getting use to the new pads?

You should have resurfaced the rotors if they are above spec or replaced if they aren't.

invurt: Not clear if you just did one side or both? Still no good to not surface or replace rotors (as HT just said) and lube up caliper pins, slides etc with brake specific lube.
If one side is worn more than the other there's still more to do and if new pads just getting rotors replaced or resurfaced now isn't how you go about this,

What are you going to lube the brakes with and where are you going to lube them?

NO! You lube where metal of pads slide, caliper pins and metal to metal items that move but away from friction surfaces of rotor and pad friction material,

Is there a spray I can use? Would be more easy. If i don't have to take everything apart would save me time.

Oh my.  I got a bad feeling about this one.
Ok read (listen)
When you do a brake job the right way.
(1) You machine the rotors.
(2) You replace the hardware such as brake shims, clips, or any worn items.
(3) You use brake grease on slide pins and a little on caliper mounts shims where the metal edge of the pads touch.
(4) You only put what is recommended by the manufacture on the backing plate of the pads.
(5) You replace pads in pairs.
(6) You make sure the calipers' pistons retract easily and don't have any leaks or ripped dust boots.
(7) Good idea to flush the brake system out after brake service.
I honestly don't think you know what your doing and going to end up compromising the safety of your brake system. Best to take it to a repair shop and have it done right.
