Current value of the String is 

^I am Shaikh with "([^"]*)" and "([^"]*)"$

My code is as below:

System.out.println(strAnnotationValue); // prints ^I am Shaikh with "([^"]*)" and "([^"]*)"$

strAnnotationValue = strAnnotationValue.replaceAll("\"", "\\\"");
System.out.println(strAnnotationValue); 

Actual Output:   ^I am Shaikh with "([^"]*)" and "([^"]*)"$
Expected Output: ^I am Shaikh with \"([^\"]*)\" and \"([^\"]*)\"$

I have written the proper code but it is not working, is there any other ways to do this?

    Just a friendly notice: if the code you have doesn't work, there's a very good chance that the code you've written isn't correct. – Makoto May 26 '16 at 06:18

If yours is a perfect code then you will get the expected output right??

Do one thing replace your this line

strAnnotationValue = strAnnotationValue.replaceAll("\"", "\\\"");

with this

strAnnotationValue = strAnnotationValue.replaceAll("\"", "\\\\\"");

\\\" means \",when it output,it will be display: "

so do like this: \\\\"

\\\\" means \\",when it ouput, it will be diaplay:\"

strAnnotationValue = strAnnotationValue.replaceAll("\"", "\\\\\"");
