I have a matrix

a =  1 2 3
        1 2 3
         1 2 3
          1 2 3
          1 2 3
          1 2 3

b = 5 6 7
       8 9 10
I want output as

c  =   5  2 3
         8 2 3
        1 6 3

Here's one way:
> a <- matrix(rep(1:3,each=6),6)
> a
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    2    3
[2,]    1    2    3
[3,]    1    2    3
[4,]    1    2    3
[5,]    1    2    3
[6,]    1    2    3
> b <- matrix(5:10,2,byrow=T)
> ix <- cbind(1:6,rep(1:3,each=2))
> a[ix] <- b
> a
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    5    2    3
[2,]    8    2    3
[3,]    1    6    3
[4,]    1    9    3
[5,]    1    2    7
[6,]    1    2   10
