if we change the condition in the while loop to while a <= 7,  the result would be :

```
The current value of a is:  4
The current value of a is:  5
a is now 5
The current value of a is:  6
The current value of a is:  7
The current value of a is:  8
```

Here is a python function that completes the same actions as the pseudo code you provided : 

```python
def custom_function():
    a = 3

    while a < 7:
        a += 1
        print("The current value of a is:", a)

        if a == 5:
            print("a is now 5")

custom_function()
```
