B,

Are you making a selection with the PEN tool and wanting to change the perspective of the selection? If so, after making your selection, go to Edit>Transform>Perspective.

no no

As I told, i have vector shape. this shape is a vector mask on the layer. there is no selecttion.
Problem is when i want to transform vector shape i want to change also the layer with one move. It have to be some kind of gruping vector shape with layer, that if i change (resize rotate or whatever ) the shape layer(content of mask) will go togather

B,

By default,the vector mask and layer should be linked so that if you move or transform a layer,both of them are altered,
you click the link between them to unlink them and transform and reposition them individually.This feature can be useful if the mask is positioned correctly but the layer isn’t or if you want to transform a layer to fit within a mask

Remember though, a mask is just a "window" that allows the underlying image to show through. There is no physical connection between the mask and the pixels it exposes. For the mask to be able to manipulate the perspective, alignment or orientation of the sub layer, it would need to be made into a selection. (control + left click on the mask to make the selection then on the image thumbnail to apply it) This would then select the pixels that the original mask exposed and allow you to do what ever you wanted to do with the selection.
