Set logical array values to true if value n values ahead is true

I'm curious if anyone can find a smart/clean way (other than a for loop of doing the following). Given a logical array x:
x = logical( [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0] );
For n = 1 I'd like: y = [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0];
For n = 2 I'd like: y = [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0];
etc.

Your examples conflict with your description. Do you want to place n values in the array ahead of a 1 as your examples show, or do you want to place a single 1 ahead of n 1s, as the title implies? If the latter, do you need to place a 1 only in front of exactly n 1s, or at least n 1s?

x = [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0] > 0;
n = 2;
x(bsxfun(@minus,find(x),(n:-1:1)')) = true;
