You can update the case field by writing an after insert trigger on emailmessage object. You can follow the steps explained in the below article

Can you please confirm if you are talking about 'Email' object or 'Emailmessage' object as there is no such object with the name 'Email' as far as my knowledge goes.

if you need to access 'Emailmessage' object fields, the below link would help
