Update Task Subject based on Type Selection

Hi,

I have a requirement to change the Subject of a task to "Some Text" when the Type "Some Text" is selected. Is there an easy way to do this? The field updates only work when the record is saved, I need this to happen as soon as the onchange of the Type picklist is fired. Is this possible?

If you wanted to change on the Fly, I mean when you change the type subject should change. then you need to create visual force page for that

Thanks for the reply Raj. I tried that however it's not updating the Subject when I change the task type on the form. This is the process I created and activated:

This is where I expect the Subject to change when I change the type from the picklist:

Is there something I did wrong that you can see?
