I want to call a function when installing A Cordova/Phonegap application (for create database and insert records to that).

You can use LocalStorage for that :

document.addEventListener('deviceready', function()
{
    if (typeof window.localStorage.getItem('firstTime') === 'undefined')
    {
        // Execute some code for the installation
        // ...

        window.localStorage.setItem('firstTime', 0);
    }
});
