I’ve implemented a WCF OData Service in my project. Right now I need to my services return JsonResult for my clients. How can I implement Restful WCF OData Service? Or is there any alternative approach to return JsonResult in my services?

OData Services natively support JSON. So if in the HTTP Request header you are specifying following header, you would always get JSON
If you can not control the this, then I suggest you to use $format filter.
For example See http://odata.netflix.com/v2/Catalog/Genres?$Format=json
JSONp and URL-controlled format support for ADO.NET Data Services download from MSDN http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/DataServicesJSONP and add the JSONPSupportBehavior decorator to your DataService class like below.
The other option could be to build ASP.NET Web API. Its an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework.
