Hi Atul,

I trust you are doing very well.

Below is the sample code. Kindly modify the code as per your requirement.
 
trigger ContactName on Contact (before insert, before update) {
    
    for(Contact a : Trigger.new){
        if (a.Phone != Null) {
            a.LastName = 'Khan';
        }   
    } 
}

I hope it helps you.
