This article explains how to do exactly what you need:

And here is the code you need to do it:

protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        // loop all data rows
        foreach (DataControlFieldCell cell in e.Row.Cells)
        {
           // check all cells in one row
           foreach (Control control in cell.Controls)
           {
                // Must use LinkButton here instead of ImageButton
                // if you are having Links (not images) as the command button.
                ImageButton button = control as ImageButton;

                if (button != null && button.CommandName == "Delete")
                    // Add delete confirmation
                    button.OnClientClick = "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this record?');";
            }
        }
    }
}
