I can use "some others" to instead of "another one",can't I?

You can't. The two have very different meanings. "One another" is a reciprocal expression, and "some others" is not.

Kitti said "another one", not "one another". Or did Kitti revise the message after you replied?

There may be situations where "some others" and "another one" can be used interchangeably; but there will be many situations where they cannot. If you are thinking of a specific sentence or context, please provide it.
