Is possible to surround a cross-reference with brackets or parentheses? For example when I write a command like some text ref{some label} then when compiled the output was some text (12) without manually placing parentheses in latex command, like some text (ref{some label}).

  You should probably provide a note that this solution isn't compatible with hyperref: regardless of whether that package is loaded before or after your code, the result is that no parentheses will be placed around the section number.

I prefer the autoref function provided in the hyperref package.

Taking examples for tables and figures:

The Table reference is autoref{tab:VHTRC}.

The equation reference is autoref{eq:3}.

Next, new reference styles should be renewed at the preamble.
Usually I define them just after including the hyperref package.

usepackage{hyperref}

defequationautorefname~#1null{Equation (#1)null}

The def define the auto-reference variable #1 in the style Equation (#1), which is enclosed in ().
Then you will get the result like this:

If you want to use curly braces {}, they should be escaped with the .

usepackage{hyperref}

defequationautorefname~#1null{Equation {#1}null}

I tried cmhughes' answer in my code, it didn't work (no parentheses -- which is strange, because the minimal example worked). guest2015's worked, but required an extra package. I ended up using newcommandpef[1]{(ref{#1})}
