You can do:

if (confirm('Are you sure you want to save this thing into the database?')) {
    // Save it!
    $.post("execute.php", $("#form").serialize());
} else {
    //Nada
}

Expanding on answer from @tymeJV

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#select').on('change',function(){
        var k = confirm('Are you sure to proceed?');
        if(k) {
            $.post("execute.php", $("#form").serialize());
        }else{
            return false;
        }
    });
});
