Try using getValues() methods of salesforce.Sample code is below :-

 

List<TestCustom__c> mcs = TestCustom__c.getall().values();//TestCustom__c is custom setting

system.debug('#########' + mcs);
system.debug('********' + mcs[0].Location__c);//Location__c is field on custom setting

 

You can go through the below link to get more methods for custom settings :-

No,getValues() is method available only for custom settings ,not for standard objects

Thanks Vinit, It's worked.....

 

I used the method which you mentioned above and match the criteria,say if(mcs[0].Location__c =='xxx')then update object field value.
