Hi Anji, 

there is Workflows, where you can automatically populate the field after a record has been created but really this is kind of unnecessary when you can just use the 'Default Value' field when creating an object new field.

Cheers,

Nice Mr.Joey,
here with Workflows we are populating field value after the  record has been created. but i need to populate before record has been saved, other than first approach..

Thnaks, 
Anji.

Anji, 

In which case, you would want to create a Apex Trigger that runs on "before insert" or a record which would automatically prefil you field to what you want.
Thanks,
Joey.
