Usually when people ask for image processing advice, they attach an image. I'd guess that you can just find all the rows and columns and take the min and max.
[rows, columns] = find(binaryImage);
topRow = min(rows);
bottomRow = max(rows);
leftColumn = min(columns);
rightColumn = max(columns);
% Draw horizontal lines at top and bottom.
line([leftColumn, rightColumn], [topLine, topLine], 'Color', 'y', 'LineWidth', 3);
line([leftColumn, rightColumn], [bottomRow, bottomRow], 'Color', 'y', 'LineWidth', 3);
Another way is to get the vertical and horizontal profiles and use find() to find the first and last non-zero elements. Not sure which is faster - you can try them both.

in the above example two diagonal lines were drawn in the image, how do you insert a vertical and a horizontal one passing through the center of the image?

You can write into the image like
grayImage(:, 32) = 255; % Draw white line at column 32
or just use plot() to plot into the overlay.
