Trigger on Custom Object

Hi guys.....I am new to salesfore.plz let me know the solution.....thanking in advance for your replies
 
Here you go with my prob
 
I have created custom object called AbcClient_c under Standard Account object.
I have  2checkbox fields on the custom object called RC1 and RC2, and a lookup field where i can select an Account.
 
My problem is that.....while creating new record or editing a record,   
If i select RC1 then RC2 should automatically be selected and i should update two fields on the Standard Account object with "XYZ" value.

You can use a default value / workflow field update / field dependency to solve your checkbox issue on the Custom Object. 

You can use a trigger to update the fields on the Account when the checkboxes are clicked on the CO.  Here's a quick and incomplete sample:

Code:
// Create a list of Accounts to update
List<Account> accountList = new List<Account>();

for (Custom_Object__c co : Trigger.new) {

// If the CO has a check in the checkbox...
if (!co.Checkbox_Field__c.equals(null))
//Define the Account to update by looking up the Account record that is linked to the Custom Object
Account a = new Account(Id = co.Account__c);
// ... set the associated Account fields as appropriate
a.Custom_Field__c = 'XYZ';
//etc.
//Update the Account record identified two steps earlier
AccountList.add ( a );

}
