Try this code hopefully it will be helpful for you- 

1.
    $(document).ready(function() {
2.
/* This section is CKEditor specific.
3.
It just updates the HTML fields to whatever
4.
content is in the CKEditor field.
5.
*/
6.
for(var name in CKEDITOR.instances) {
7.
CKEDITOR.instances[name].on("instanceReady", function() {
8.
// Set keyup event
9.
this.document.on("keyup", updateValue);
10.
// Set paste event
11.
this.document.on("paste", updateValue);
12.
});
  13.
   
  14.
              function updateValue() {
15.
CKEDITOR.instances[name].updateElement();
16.
$(‘textarea’).trigger(‘keyup’);
17.
}
  18.
          }
  19.
   
  20.
          /* This is the complete jQuery code for autosave.
  21.
          setTimeout() is called every 5 minutes while
  22.
          the inner function checks that the last save
  23.
          was at least 5 minutes ago before deciding
  24.
          to save.
  25.
          */
  26.
          var lastSaveTime = 0;
  27.
          var currentTime = 0;
  28.
          // Edit chapter
  29.
          $(“form”).keyup(function() {
30.
$(".autosaved_msg").hide();
31.
window.setTimeout(
32.
function() {
33.
currentTime = new Date().getTime();
34.
if ((currentTime - lastSaveTime) > 300000 || lastSaveTime == 0) {
35.
$.post("/url/to/post/to", $("form").serialize(),
36.
function(response, status) {
37.
/* "1" is the response value I chose to return
38.
upon a successful save.
39.
*/
40.
if (response == 1 && status == "success") {
41.
$(".autosaved_msg").show();
42.
}
  43.
                                    }
  44.
                              );
  45.
                              lastSaveTime = new Date().getTime();
  46.
                          }
  47.
                    },
  48.
                    300000
  49.
              );
  50.
          });
  51.
    });

@talentsfromindia with all do respect but you code requires user to use jQuery and it does not work for every possible change made in CKEditor.

IMO this is better option - http://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=24128
