Hi,

 

First of all you have to check old and new value of field of custom object A for before update event, if it is not equal to previous values, you can set a message if condition meet and assign the message to custom object field value for B.

 

You can use

 trigger.new[0].CUSTOMOBJFIELD.adderror('custom object A has been changed in A');

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

You can write a workflow if your both objects are releated since trigger is not always a good solution.
