I am a student and applied for internship in 4-5 companies few days ago. But, I haven't received any response so far. So, my questions are:
How many day should I wait for an E-Mail before assuming they are not interested in me?
If I don't got any reply even after considerable time, should I E-Mail them again asking for a reply?

Sending out emails to a few companies isn't sufficient for anything - most likely none of them will respond. An HR department could get hundreds of those toward the beginning of a new semester. A professor might be able to tell you something about particularly good prospects. Try to find someone that knows something about the needs of these organizations.

Applying with just an email, without a formal cv etc, will most likely result in nothing more but being ignored. And you should never include weekends. Companys think in 'working days'.

imho you should always attach something "hr-compliant" like a formal cv. Just to show them that you are able to create such a document.

I don't think anyone can answer your question not opinion-based.

I agree with @MeredithPoor. When I was unemployed I sent a lot of e-mails. 10 months has passed and I never got a single "no".

When you like to apply for job or an intern role you have to manage lot of companies at th same time, at least 30-100 but it depends on the market and your skill-set (when I was looking for a role I sent around 1000 CVs through 2-3 months ). So first step could be the e-mail but after that you should use another type of sitescommunitiesjob portals as well. Another source could be the offline events when you find lot of good opportunities but I think one of the best source is the private network. If I were you I am using the mixture of these.
If you don't get feedback in a month I think you can send another questioning e-mail but a lot of times the departments which are dealing with your case are really busy and haven't enough time to response immediately or later. I think you could boost your heat rate with a well edited CVcover letter and title as well. In additional you are a developer and be creative when you send an application. You find a lot of good pointers about this in forums and recruitment related topics.
