And to get customfield, use below
Trigger.newmap.get(child.WhatId).customfield to get value of custom field on case

You can write trigger on case update. 

Query for tasks related to that case and update the value.

Hi Venky,
 Thanks for your response.
 I want to update the 'customfield' in task, when ever case is created / edited based on one custom field in case.
 Please check the below code and help me out.


trigger XXXX on Case (after insert, after update){
        List<Task> tskrecords = [Select Id, customfield, WhatId from Task where WhatId IN : Trigger.newMap.keySet()];
        for(Task child :tskrecords){
            if(trigger.isInsert && child.WhatId.customfield == '1234'){
                child.customfield = '0000';
            }
            else if(trigger.isUpdate && child.WhatId.customfield == '1234'){
                child.customfield = '0000';
            }
        }
        if(tskrecords.size() > 0)
            update tskrecords;
}

The code looks good. if you want it in both update and insert you can simply out it into single if statement.

child.WhatId.customfield is not working,
please let me know, how to traverse from task to case custom field to check for the condition.
