Insert the CD or DVD that you want to make an ISO image of, and open a terminal window. To do that, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo cat /dev/srx > /home/<user_name>/<file_name.iso>

Make sure that you replace (x) with your device number.

for example in my case I would do: 

sudo cat /dev/sr0 > /home/mitch/example.iso

Either use Brasero, like Mohammad Etemaddar suggested, or dd, as described here: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-ISO-File-in-Linux

The method which is described in WikiHow: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso

if: input file

of: output file

dd: disk dump

Another very good description on making ISO image has been written here.

In Brasero Disk Burner which is installed on Ubuntu by default, select Disc Copy and select Disk image for Select a Disk to write to and create image.
