I want to overwrite part of a matrix by a function of the row number.
For example, let
M=rand(10,5) and the function of row number:
f(ROW)=ROW^2.
This function should apply in the range from 1:5 for all columns.
Thus the overwritten matrix N would have the following components
1 1 1 1 1
4 4 4 4 4
9 9 9 9 9
16 16 16 16 16
25 25 25 25 25

ONLY the initial 5 rows are changed by the power of row number
and ALL columns were modified likewise.
I tried the following approach:
M=rand(10,5);
r=1:1:5;
f=r'.^2;
M(1:5,:)=f;
but did not work.
I hope someone know how to correct this command or to suggest something new.
Thank your for your help
