There are several options you could try out before deciding if you need a trigger.
  • Process builder
  • Flow
  • Workflow
In case these does not help here is an example of a trigger on the attachment object.

Your query will look like something below. Here is the link to the attachemtn object api https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_attachment.htm
  
Opportunity opp = [Select Id from Opportunity where name='test xyz'];
Attachment attrec = [Select Id,IsPrivate from attachment where ParentId=:opp.Id];
attrec.isPrivate = true;
update attrec;

This is only a sample, you would have to adapt this to use in a trigger
