You need to define the type of list and set. Change code according to your requirement. Below code is for account attachment and according to ur requirement you want it for case

trigger AttachmentTriggerDemo on Attachment (before insert) {
    List<Account> accountList = new List<Account>();
    Set<Id>accIds = new Set<Id>();
    for(Attachment att : trigger.New){
         //Check if added attachment is related to Account or not
         if(att.ParentId.getSobjectType() == Account.SobjectType){
              accIds.add(att.ParentId);
         }
    }
    accountList = [select id, has_Attachment__c from Account where id in : accIds];
    if(accountList!=null && accountList.size()>0){

        for(Account acc : accountList){
            acc.has_Attachment__c = true;
        }
        update accountList;
    }
}

You can add trigger in attachment as shown in below link

Attachmetn Trigger example: http://www.sfdcpoint.com/salesforce/trigger-on-attachment-in-salesforce/

and check if the parent id is case if yes, then get case owner by querying case and send mail through SingleEmailMessage.
