Why don't you try using the TextWrapping property of that TextBlock?
XAML:
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="very very very long text" Width="30"/>
C#:
myTextBlock.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;

my TextBlock have fixed width as well as fixed height, if i use wordwrap then it will work for width but not for height.

In that case I'd suggest a textblock that wraps, and has a vertical scrollviewer - a combination of both our answers.

Is it realy necessary that your TextBlock has a fixed height? Could you post some Code from your UI definition?

If you don't want wrapping, then slapping on a horizontal/vertical scrollbar is another option that you may want to explore. Reading the question I think textwrapping might be more appropriate (doesn't sound like you want to hide anything), but options are always nice.
<ScrollViewer Height="30">
<TextBlock Width="30" TextWrapping="Wrap">HElooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</TextBlock>
</ScrollViewer>
EDIT: Combines a word wrap and a scrollviewer.

Nice idea, but if the textblock is small that would look kind of weird.

True, but "width=30" and "height=30" are completely arbitrary values that work with this small example. If the textblock in the UI is genuinely tiny yet has to hold a lot of text, then I'd argue the UI design is at fault.
