I have an ASP.net application where users can chat with online users. There is no membership implemented here, when user log in we set the status as online.
The problem is if user's are idle since long time or they close their browser we need to change their status.
How can we don that?

This question can't be answered because we don't know how you set status,what do you mean by 'idle since long time'. Define 'long time' and measure it. After that, update status to idle just like you set it to online.

Consider any .net application, a user logs in and application update his status as online in database. Now he doesn't do anything and keep browser open for a long time or close the browser. How will you make his status as offline?

Basically the only 'connection' between an open page in the browser and server, served it is the session at the server and some id the browser manages internally to be able to re-connect to that session...That session at the server there is a life-span (20 minutes by default in IIS) that will comes to and end with an event - Session_End - in your global.asax...

Setting the status to offline at that event may give you a solution...
