Workflow/Validation rule Help

"Customer State" is a field on lead object. The picklist values are CA, NJ,DC, AZ,IL, etc
The requirement is, if CA is selected, 'zipcode' field on lead should have a value '94544'. Similarly if 'NJ' is selected 07102 an so on.
How do i do this? workflow or formula or any easier way?

HI rakesh,
Try this formula field 
IF(ISPICKVAL(Customer_State__c, 'CA'),'CAcode',(IF(ISPICKVAL(Customer_State__c, 'NJ'),'NJcode',(IF(ISPICKVAL(Customer_State__c, 'DC'),'DCcode',
  (  IF(ISPICKVAL(Customer_State__c, ' AZ'),' AZcode','ILcode')) )))))

Hi Vijayabhaskarareddy
i get the error "Error: Field Customer_State__c may not be used in this type of formula"error

Pleaste note that "customer state" and Postal code are two seperate custom field on lead.
Based on customer state value selected in customer state field, the value to be populated in postal code field.
ex: if i select 'CA' in customer state picklist, the postal code value should be '94544'

if u want to create formula field  
 first go to create new custom fields
then select formula field, and then inside formula select text type

Step1: select formula
step1
step2 :inside formula field select  text type
