well i used lots of codes to make this like :

1-to disable the right click:

<script src="js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>    
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $(function () {
        $(this).bind("contextmenu", function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            alert("Copy is not allowed");
        });
    });       
</script>

2-disable Selection 

<script type="text/javascript">

    /***********************************************
    * Disable Text Selection script- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
    * This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
    * Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
    ***********************************************/

    function disableSelection(target) {
        if (typeof target.onselectstart != "undefined") //IE route
            target.onselectstart = function () { return false }
        else if (typeof target.style.MozUserSelect != "undefined") //Firefox route
            target.style.MozUserSelect = "none"
        else //All other route (ie: Opera)
            target.onmousedown = function () { return false }
        target.style.cursor = "default"
    }

    //Sample usages
    //disableSelection(document.body) //Disable text selection on entire body
    //disableSelection(document.getElementById("mydiv")) //Disable text selection on element with id="mydiv"

var alltables = document.getElementsByTagName("table") for (var i = 0; i < alltables.length; i++) disableSelection(alltables[i]) //disable text selection within all tables on the page

3-I added those to the end of the body tag

<script type="text/javascript">
     var somediv = document.getElementById("page-wrap")
     disableSelection(somediv) //disable text selection within DIV with id="page-wrap"
    </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    disableSelection(document.body) //disable text selection on entire body of page
</script>

now all done .....

thanks guys ,that was really very helpful.

You can disable the right click and also bind keyup event on document to detect copy command key combination "Ctl + C" and returning false.

To disable right click:

jQuery(document).bind("contextmenu", function(e) {
 e.preventDefault();
});

To detect Ctl + C:

jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
    var ctlPressed = false; //Flag to check if pressed the CTL key
    var ctl = 17; //Key code for Ctl Key
    var c = 67; //Key code for "c" key

    jQuery(document).keydown(function(e)
    {
        if (e.keyCode == ctl) 
          ctlPressed = true;
    }).keyup(function(e)
    {
        if (e.keyCode == ctl) 
          ctlPressed = false;
    });

    jQuery(".your-no-copy-area").keydown(function(e)
    {
        if (ctlPressed && e.keyCode == c) 
          return false;
    });
});

Watermark is your solution. I can easily disable Javascript.
