How it doesn't work? At least there is a conflict with types: Vector3 operates with floats and 2 is an integer. Try something like pos.z += 2.0f;

Thank you for your answer! but I had to assign the transform of the parent after changing the transform of the value, as in the answer below :)

When you access the transform's position, that is "passed by value". You get a copy of the original value, and changes made to the copy won't directly alter the original.

You can modify the value and assign a new position:

 pos = transform.parent.position;
 pos.z += 2;
 transform.parent.position = pos;
