If the isotope have short half lives is that mean that the isotope is in a stable condition?

No. Only radioactive elements have half-lives, the half-life is the time that it will take for half of the atoms in a sample of a radioactive isotope to decay into another element or isotope. This is a constant property of the isotope and does not depend on the sample size. Stable isotopes never decay.
