as_json

You should use as_json method wich convert ActiveRecord objects to Ruby Hashes despite its name

tasks_records = TaskStoreStatus.all
tasks_records = tasks_records.as_json

# You can now add new records and return the result as json by calling `to_json`

tasks_records << TaskStoreStatus.last.as_json
tasks_records << { :task_id => 10, :store_name => "Koramanagala", :store_region => "India" }
tasks_records.to_json

serializable_hash

You can also convert any ActiveRecord objects to a Hash with serializable_hash and you can convert any ActiveRecord results to an Array with to_a, so for your example :

tasks_records = TaskStoreStatus.all
tasks_records.to_a.map(&:serializable_hash)

And if you want an ugly solution for Rails prior to v2.3

JSON.parse(tasks_records.to_json) # please don't do it
