Hi ECorona,

Below is the sample code which I have tested in my org and it is working fine.

BookMaster__c is Lookup field in Test__c Object. 
trigger UpdateOnLookupChange on Test__c (before insert, before update) {
    
    List<ID> OppIds = New List<ID>();
    Map<Id,Book__c> promap = new Map<Id,Book__c>();
    
    for(Test__c o : Trigger.new){
        OppIds.add(o.BookMaster__c);
    }
    
    promap = new Map<Id, Book__c>([SELECT id, Name FROM Book__c WHERE ID IN :OppIds]);
    
    for(Test__c c : Trigger.new) {
        if(c.BookMaster__c != null) {
            Book__c b = promap.get(c.BookMaster__c);
            b.Name='Khan';
        }
    }
    
    update promap.values();
}

I hope it helps you.
