Dear divya1234,

1. Create list custom setting with fields RecordTypeID__c and RecordTypeName__c. (Ex: ist custom setting - CaseCSRecTypes__c)
Please use this custom setting as in below code!
trigger CustomSettingTrigger on Case(before insert, before update) {
	for(Case c1: Trigger.new){
		for (CaseCSRecTypes__c caseItem : CaseCSRecTypes__c.getAll().values()) {
			if(caseItem.RecordTypeName__c != c1.RecordType__c){
				c1.RecordType__c = caseItem.RecordTypeName__c;
			}
		 }
	}
}

NOTE: If you're thinking of using list custom settings, consider using custom metadata types instead. 
Unlike list custom settings, you can migrate the records of custom metadata types using packages or Metadata API tools. 

Please let me know if it helps OR need more information!

Dear Divya,

Please have a look on the below code!
 
trigger CustomMetaDataTypeTrigger on Case(before insert, before update) {

TestCMT__mdt[] cMTypeRecords = [SELECT RecordTypeName__c, Status__c FROM TestCMT__mdt];//Querying custom metadata type records. 

	for(Case c1: Trigger.new){
		for (TestCMT__mdt caseItem : cMTypeRecords) {
			if(caseItem.RecordTypeName__c != c1.RecordType__c){
				c1.RecordType__c = caseItem.RecordTypeName__c;
			}
		 }
	}
}
