Try this ..

function update(){
$.ajax
({
url: "siteurlwithItemID, // list item ID
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify
({
__metadata:
{
type: "SP.Data.TestListItem"
},
EditorId: idofUser
}),
headers:
{
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"Content-Type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
"IF-MATCH": "*",
"X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE"
},
success: function(data, status, xhr)
{
console.log('sucess');
},
error: function(xhr, status, error)
{
console.log('fail');

}
});
}

[HttpGet]
public string AddDeviceID(string deviceID)
{
User user = db.Users.Single(x => x.MobileUserName == "Dev" && x.MobilePassword == "123");

user.MobileDeviceId = deviceID;

db.SaveChanges();
return "success";
}
