@David ,Puru thanks guys for quick response...I don't want to use custom setting . Take a look this is my code it works fine now. suggests me that is right?
trigger UpdateOwnerID on Project__c(before insert, before update) {
     Set<string> aliasscope = new Set<String>();
      for(Project__c opp : trigger.new)
      {
              aliasscope.add(opp.Assigned_To__c);
       }
    map<string,id> userIdbyAlias = new map<string,id>();  //Keep in mind this will only store one user id per alias
    for(User u : [Select id,Name from user where Name IN :aliasscope])
    {
            userIdbyAlias.put(u.Name,u.Id);
     }
    for (Project__c objOpportunity : Trigger.new)
    {
       

             if (objOpportunity.OwnerId <> userIdByAlias.get(objOpportunity.Assigned_To__c) )           
             {
                   objOpportunity.OwnerId = userIdByAlias.get(objOpportunity.Assigned_To__c);
              }

Hi,

1. Maybe you can create a combinations of these projects and the owners in a LIST custom settings(easy to maintain, and you can add any additional values in future).
2. On a Trigger, use this custom setting values and based on this, populate the AssignedTo value.

or there are another possible way for this?

I think your on the right track with the custome setting in the trigger.  Here is a link to examples and more definition around them for you.  Hope this helps.  Please mark if it does.

Hi,

Hope below sample help you...

//Create Custom Setting Object and records
Setup -> Develop -> Custom Settings -> New
Fields -> Name,AssignedTo

//Trigger
Trigger TriggerName on Project__c(before insert, before update) {
Map<String, Project_Custom_Setting__c>  csMap = Project_Custom_Setting__c.getAll();
For(Project__c currProj : Trigger.New){
currProj.AssignedTo__c = csMap.get(currProj.Name).AssignedTo__c;
}
}

As Puru mentioned, you can use custom settings to save the dropdown list and use trigger to change the project owner.
the code below might help:
 
Trigger TriggerName on Project__c(before insert, before update) {
      User usr;
      Map<id,User> mapusrs = new Map<id,User>([select id from user]);
         

      For(Project__c currProj : Trigger.New){
            string username = currProj.AssignedTo__c ;
            usr = null;

           for (User u: mapusrs.values()) {
                 usr  = u;
             
                if (usr.name.tolowercase() == username.tolowercase)
                     break;
            }

          if (usr != null)
               currProj.ownerid = usr.id;
      }
}
