@alain’s solution is very good, a probably the best way to do it.

You can also do exactly what you said by using the If Then Else action and a Set Variable to Text action.

Hey Ali,

Just to add some variety let’s do that with AppleScript.

tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
  tell variable "Mobile Number"
    if it exists then
      set myMobileNumber to its value
      if myMobileNumber starts with "7" then
        set myMobileNumber to "0" & myMobileNumber
      end if
    end if
  end tell
end tell
