Is it necessary to change the timing belt on a Mazda protege at 100000 km?

Necessary... no. a good idea... yes. The belt should have been replaced 30,000 miles ago and could be getting old enough to break, but is probably at least stretched some. Replacing it will prevent engine damage when it decides to go.
You don't list what engine or year. Only the 2002-03 2.0L 4-cylinder (DOHC) engine is an interferance engine. If the belt breaks on this engine you will have severe engine damage. The reast you will just be stranded. All the other Mazda engines recommend replacing the belt at 70,000 miles, (106,000 km). The 2.0 Liter recommendation is 100,000 miles, (160,000 km). So if you have a 2.0 liter you have time left. Any others start looking for a repair shop.
