- If status field value = ‘Zebra’ then update Account Size =3.

Is this a question?
Yes this is aquestion?ReidC
You could.
* create a formula field that inspects the value of the picklist and displays a value based on what it finds (similar to your record type question asked elsewhere)
* create a trigger that does this programmatically on insert or update
* do a field update via workflow
The right way depends on the context you are in and the business problem you are trying to solve.
What are you working on? Is this a training assignment of some kind? I ask because "squirrel" doesn't show up very often in picklists. :-)
