Is it possible to monitor the changes done to the backend tables when the user modifies any data?
How can i maintain a history table to track the modified changes with the old data.?
Is there any way of procedure to track the changes done by the user from front end. As they are given the provision to modify the existing data.

Please give me an idea of how it may work.

Regards,
Priya.

Yes, possible. It is tracked using Audit trail/Audit history tables.
You populate these tables based on update/delete/insert triggers on other tables which you want to track.

Following article should help you:

MSDN: CREATE TRIGGER (Transact-SQL)[^]
