How to replace a column vector in matrix

A = [1 -4 1;4 -1 2;2 2 -3]
B = [6;-1;-20]
I want to replace part of matrx A i.e (1 -4 1) with B.
How can I do this?
Thank you for your help.

Basic indexing (just the the introductory tutorials show):
>> A = [1,-4,1;4,-1,2;2,2,-3]
A =
1 -4 1
4 -1 2
2 2 -3
>> B = [6;-1;-20];
>> A(1,:) = B
A =
6 -1 -20
4 -1 2
2 2 -3
how do you set the name of the new matrix , instead of A can you change it to Ax without changing the name of the original matrix. Please demosntrate thank you

A = [1 -4 1;4 -1 2;2 2 -3]
B = [6;-1;-20]
B=B'
A(1,:)=B'

You don't actually need to do any transposing. Just using B directly works, even though B is a column vector and you are assigning it to a row:
A(1,:) = B;

If you want changed matrix Ax without changing matrix A, just copy the contents of matrix A over to a new matrix Ax, then do the same replacement.
A = [1 -4 1;4 -1 2;2 2 -3]
B = [6;-1;-20]
B = B'
Ax = A
Ax(1,:) = B'
