I have a power supply model name - FSP500-60apn which is 500w but
I have 2x6 pins power connectors, GTX 1070 requires 1x8pin power connector and 500W psu also. Does it mean I cannot use this card with this power supply?
 
Single 8 pin and 2x 6 pin is both 150W. Should work if you find the right cable to connect it.

How old is that psu? If it's really old maybe it's a good idea to replace it.

5 years old. Can I plug somehow 2x6 pin in the 8 pin connector? The pins look the same to me, there will be only 2 left 😀
 
I wouldn't do that. Just buy an adapter. You can pick up a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter or a molex to 8 pin. They can be found for a couple of bucks online.
 
If you do buy an adapter make sure it is this style:

The 2nd one is adding resistance, which is not a good thing even though it would probably work fine. 1070 is not a power hungry card.
