You can be sure that the noun will not be acting as an adjective or adverb.
� which one of following is correct

1- Brought items were put in bag.
2-Story of a killed boy

These past participles are all adjectives.

Nouns don't have a passive sense. Sentences 1 and 3 are in the passive voice. 2 isn't a sentence.

Can i use this with every type of noun which gives meaning.

Your question is unclear. You seem to be asking whether you can use any past participal with a noun without it being an adjective.
But in the examples you've given, the past participles (which I have bolded) are all adjectives.

It would be better if you used full proper sentences as your examples.
What is it you want to know?
