Hi Prateek,
there are two objects:
1)EProduct__c with field Quantity__C
2)EOrder__C with field OQuantity__c and Product__C
there is no any relation between them.
when we create order record with Quantit__C. and also Product__C(text) field on EOrder__C is same as EProduct__c name
then
         Quntity on EProduct__c=Quntity on EProduct__c - Quantity on EOrder__c

Fire a SOQL on the EProduct__c Object where Name = Product__c on the EOrder__c object. Of course the Product name should be unique on the EProduct__c object. 
Retrive the Quantity__c field in the SOQL above. Update the field by deducting the OQuntity__c from it (this will also help you valdiate whether there is enough quantity in the EProduct__c for the EOrder__c to be executed.
Update the EProduct__c record.

write this code in your trigger on EOrder__c  After save trigger
for( EOrder__c tempEOrder:Trigger.new)
{  
integer quantityEOrder=tempEOrder.OQuantity__c ;
 list<EORder__c> temp=[select Product__C from EOrder__C  ];
EProduct__c tempproduct= [select  id,Quantity__C from EProduct__c where Name=:temp.Product__C];
  Integer finalQuantity=tempproduct.Quantity__C-quantityEOrder;
tempproduct.Quantity__C= finalQuantity;
update tempproduct;
}

hi prateek
its not updating quantity on EProduct__C object 
prateek jainprateek jain
HI 
Use this Code
trigger ANS on EOrder__C (After insert) {

    
    for(EOrder__C temp:Trigger.new){
        
         Decimal tempQuantity=temp.Oquantity__c;
        string tempProduct=temp.Product__c;
        
        EProduct__c tempObject1record=[select Name,id,Quantity__c from EProduct__c where Name=:tempProduct]; 

            Decimal TempQuantyObject1=tempObject1record.Quantity__c;
            Decimal finalQuanty=TempQuantyObject1-tempQuantity;
        
        tempObject1record.Quantity__c=finalQuanty;
        
         update tempObject1record ;   
        
    }
    
    
}

Check the API  name of fields and Objects 
And After Saving  Record of  EOrder__C  refresh the  EProduct__c  object Record 
If any issue please let me know. I am happy to solve it .
Thanks.

trigger updateProductQuantity on EOrder__c (After insert){
     
      Set<String> productNames=new Set<String>();
     for(EOrder__c order: Trigger.new){
        productNames.add(order.Product__c);
     }
      // SOQL outside for loop....
      List<EProduct__c> prodcutList=[Select id,Name,Quantity__c from EProduct__c 
                                                         where  Name IN : productNames];
      //Main loop starts...
      for(EOrder__c order: Trigger.new){
        for(EProduct__c product: productList){
             //Second part of if checks if there are enough products for the current order.
             if(order.Product__c == product.Name && (product.Quantity__c - order.Quantity__c)>0){
                    product.Quantity__c=product.Quantity__c - order.Quantity__c;
                 }
              }
        }
        try{
             Database.update(productList,FALSE);
        }
       catch(DMLException e){
            System.debug(e);
       }
}
This should take care of bulkification and Governors...
