It's slang for "I have practiced reading and writing in Japanese so much that I am good at it!"
"I have been reading and writing in Japanese" is more formal!

It means that you understand reading and writing in Japanese
It's more of a weird way of saying it I guess

When someone says they have something "down" it means they know how to do that thing. You wouldn't put "been" in that sentence because it would mean that they were doing something in the past. The person that said the sentence "I have reading and writing in Japanese down" is not saying that they have been reading and writing, they are just saying that they know how to do it

It means that they know how to read and write in japanese. The English term 'down pat' is a slang word that means to know or to have perfected something
