To track which row button is clicked, you have to set the row Index as a parameter to a JS function like…

 protected void grdForecast_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType ==DataControlRowType.DataRow )
    {
        ((Button)e.Row.FindControl("buttonId")).Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:update(" + (e.Row.RowIndex ) + ");");
    }
}

And then in JavaScript:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function update(ri) {
        var grd = document.getElementById('<%= GridView1.ClientID %>');
        SecondCellValue = grd.rows[ri].cells[1].childNodes[0].value
        ThirdCellValue = grd.rows[ri].cells[2].childNodes[0].value
    }
</script>
