Is there a way to read picture data such as date picture taken, filename, GPS location and other information that is stored inside the images that stored in the medialibrary?

From what I can find the GDI+ components you would need for this are not currently available on the phone (or Silverlight for that matter). You can have a webservice provide this data to you or you can look into porting a desktop library, it seems some people here have had luck with that.
There is also a project called ExifLib that loads the metadata without the extra GDI+ overhead. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/exiflib.aspx
