in my garden i have 6 lights each one have a switch, last week i connect all the lights to one switch so all the 6 lights will turn on with one switch, but some time i don't need all the 6 lights on, and other time i want them all on. so, is there a way to have a switch for each light and a master switch for all the light.
(for example:if tow light on, and than i click on the master switch all the other 4 lights will turn on and if i click on it again all the 6 will turn off)
(another example:if all the light on and i turn off 3 of them then use the master switch the other 3 will turn off)
is that possible?

It sounds like you have a setup like this.
If you want to control the pump independently, simply add a switch between the transformer and the pump.
Code requires that you use every device according to its labeling and instructions (because the testing behind the UL listing didn't test it any further than that). So your first stop is back to the labeling and instructions on the lamp, and see what it says about using the receptacle to control other lights via the motion sensor.
Knowing Feit Electric, I suspect it does not permit that use, and the motion sensor does not switch the receptacle, and it is there to serve general loads like drills or trouble lights. Or, their vision for this product is that you simply enable all the motion sensors and allow each light to decide independently.
I am no great fan of Feit's reliability and would not miss an opportunity to return a Feit to the store and get something quality. Generally everything electrical at CostCo is the pinnacle of Cheese junk.
If you really want to do motion sensor for the whole garage, they (not CostCo) sell individual "stalk" motion sensors, that screw into a junction box cover. If you use the type which has a neutral wire, you can have 2 or more motion sensors for better coverage. From those you power your lights.

You could use smart switches and have a lot of versatility... but you can also do it with manual switches easy enough.
At the first switch point, you have the "master switch". You bring in always-hot and neutral. Pass through neutral, connect always-hot to the switch, and switched-hot to the other side of the switch.
Then at the second switch point, you have 6 switches. Switched-hot goes to each of the switches. Then branch-switched-hot comes off the other side of the switch for each of the six branches.
In this diagram, black=always hot, red=master-switched-hot, and all other colors are branch switched hots. Grounds not shown because, enough.
