You cannot use %s here, because you're reading int's not strings.  Also you
must use aa in the place of stderr, because aa is the file stream you're
reading from.

Firstly, you cannot use t[a], because you defined t as t[5][5];.  Also char
t[5][5] should read int t[5][5], because you are going to read int's into
the array, not chars.

Then I would write the while loop as two for loops, as follows:

int i, j, done;

done = 1;  /*make sure that done doesn't equal EOF otherwise the 2 for loops
would never execute!*/

for (i = 0; (i < 5) && (done != EOF); i++)
  for (j = 0; (j < 5) && (done != EOF); j++)
  {
      done = fscanf(aa, "%d", t[i][j]);
      fprintf(stderr, "%d\n", t[i][j]);
  }
