If you mean "How do modern people pronounce the name Bastet?", the answer is you can pronounce it any way you wish since it is an invented version of the name.

The ancient Egyptian writing systems did not include vowels, so the "a" and the "e" are simply guesses; we can never know how the name was pronounced in ancient times. In hieroglyphs the word is written bAstt (where the A is a glottal consonant that does not exist in English); many Egyptologists believe that the final -t (a feminine word ending) was not pronounced at all.
