Why is it impossible for us to taste spicy foods despite the absence of a spicy taste zone in the tongue?
You mean why is it "possible" to taste spicy food despite absence of its "taste receptors" in the tongue. Well, its because spicy food contains capsaicin. It is an organic molecule found in chillis and peppers capable to producing a burning feeling upon tissue contact. This is due to it binding to a neuronal receptor VR1, allowing movement of ions and such would result in a burning sensory sensation. That is why "spicyness" can be felt even on your lips when eating spicy food.
What part of the tongue can taste the spicy?
The ability to taste spiciness comes from sensors on the tip and edges of the tongue. These sensors detect the presence of capsaicin, the compound responsible for the sensation of heat in spicy foods.

When we eat food we get its taste but when we close our nose and eat it why don't we get the taste?
This is probably the best question I've heard on this site so far. As you may of heard, your tongue has Four taste receptors, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Salty. (Some people consider spicy as a tongue sense as well) but if you eat something like a unsweetend cherry, your tongue really has no receptors for it. Foods that are sweet, sour, bitter, or salty all have a place on the tongue, however foods that do not fit in those categories only taste significant because of the nose. The nose, with the power of smells, generates the taste.
What can you do to tone it down if your pork LOIN is too spicy?
Assuming you can't scrape off or remove some or all of the excess spice, there are a couple of ways you can combat the spiciness. Serve the spicy pork with a starch such as plain rice or potatoes, that will help cut some of it when eaten together. Or if its a case of too much HEAT as in chili peppers, if you can, find some way to add a milk product, to the meal. Drink a glass of milk with the meal, add some sour cream, etc. Milk prevents some of the chemical that produces the heat from reaching the appropriate receptors on your tongue.
