I use this for copying text to the clipboard...Could be a start for you...

Code: 
javascript:
function HighlightAll(theField) {
var tempval=eval("document."+theField)
tempval.focus()
tempval.select()
if (document.all&&copytoclip==1){
therange=tempval.createTextRange()
therange.execCommand("Copy")
}
}
code behind:
Me.cmdCopy.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "javascript:HighlightAll('Timer.txtTotalTime')")

I'm not sure you can achieve what your goal with JavaScript. There are 2 methods you can use to interact with the clipboard as far as I know: the clipboardData object and the dataTransfer object. Both objects use the same methods, which are getData and setData. However, I believe both methods are only capable of getting/setting text or URLs. If you find a solution to your problem, please post back. I'd be very interested to see how it works.

Try this:
Code: 
<script>
function copyImg(id){
  var r = document.body.createControlRange();
  r.add(document.getElementById(id));
  r.select();
  r.execCommand("COPY");
}
</script>
<body onload="copyImg('myimg')">
<img src="image.jpg" id="myimg">
</body>
