Why can’t we create our own gravity, like lab created gravity. Isn’t gravity just a big object pushing down on some sort of “plane” ?

The people above have answered your question, but I would like to add that you can approximate gravity. If you have a plane that is constantly accelerating, then that can make fake gravity. Like if you had a space ship with infinite fuel, you could keep the engine lit forever, and accelerate at 9.8 meters per second and get fake gravity, because the spaceship is pushing your feet into the floor. Keep in mind, even though this would be indispensable from real gravity, it is not. If you have accelerated in a car, you know what I am talking about. When you accelerate, you are pushed by the acceleration back into your seat. This is fake gravity and it is indistinguishable from having another planet behind you pulling you towards your seat.
