On manual setting, the d40x exposure compensation scale shows underexposure of 5 stops. How can I correct it?

Correction can be done on the camera itself or with the help of photoshop.

On the camera, people usually play around with the EV. + EV makes the picture brighter and -EV dimmer.

Photoshop, or most picture viewers, can make the picture brighter. It is the preferred solution because it is generally believed that over exposure tends to burn out the details while slightly under exposed gives more room for subsequent adjustments.

The ideal way will be for you to take the pictures in RAW. D40X can do it and this allows you to do whatever adjustments later on.
