I have a matrix generated randomly and I want to change the positions of the numbers
i.e:
X=[2 3 4 5;
7 8 9 1]
to
X=[9 5 1 3;
5 2 8 2]
(I'm the one who chooses the new positions, not random)

do you mean that you want to randomly reanrage the array?

Will this work for you?
X = [2 3 4 5;
7 8 9 1]
[rows, columns] = size(X)
X = X(randperm(numel(X))) % Unfortunately reshapes into a row vector.
X = reshape(X, [rows, columns]) % Put back into 2-D
It rearranges elements into a random order.

No, i'm the one who chooses the new positions!

What form do you have your new positions in? A matrix? A vector? Two vectors or two matrices with new rows in one, and new columns in the other? Come on, make it EASY for us to help you, not hard.

X(randperm(numel(X))) = X

How would I do if I wanted to to change the position of the number at (1,2) to (2,3) , for example?
