A cleaner way of writing this is
for current_count in xrange(1, count+1):
However, there's still a better way.

It's better to use float(raw_input('Enter a number: ')) to make sure
that the user is actually entering a number. But there's a more
important problem with your code: when the user inputs a new number,
the old one is simply discarded, so you can't calculate the median and
mode.

A better way of writing the above code is:
def input_numbers(count):
"Asks the user for numbers, and returns them in a list."
return [float(raw_input('Enter a number: ')) for i in
xrange(count)]
def mean(numbers):
"Returns the arithmetic mean of a numeric list."
return sum(numbers) / len(numbers)
numbers = input_numbers(count)
print 'The average is:', mean(numbers)

This isn't valid code. "number" isn't a sequence.
Also, you don't have any code for computing the median. The simplest
way to do this is:
def median(numbers):
"Return the median of the list of numbers."
# Sort the list and take the middle element.
n = len(number)
copy = numbers[:] # So that "numbers" keeps its original order
copy.sort()
if n & 1: # There is an odd number of elements
return copy[n // 2]
else:
return (copy[n // 2 - 1] + copy[n // 2]) / 2

Don't ask for numbers twice. Just iterate over the "number" list from
earlier.
