You almost certainly don't want to use JSON as your storage method. This is a database problem, and the Django ORM really shines at letting you solve it without having to think super hard about database modeling. You wouldn't create a table for each user's task list. You would create a model called Task, which is has a foreign key to your user model. The ORM then defines one table for all tasks for all users, and it's easy to get the tasks for a single user using the reverse relationship on the foreign key. You should really check out the Django project docs to sort through how this works.
The alternative NoSQL approach would be to make the task list for each users a schemaless document in a system like MongoDB, but to my mind, a simple task list is a good problem for straightforward, relational Django.
