Replacing numbers in a matrix

I'm fairly new to matlab. I have a matrix that is 1000 rows and 1 column of 0's. I want to replace the 400th and 900th 0's with numbers of my choosing. These numbers will change every time I run the script (in this case I want the numbers to be 0.3 and 0.9) but they will always be the 400th and 900th numbers. What would be the best way to do this?
If this can work, I plan on doing the same with a larger sized matrix (2,000,000 rows)

Since you're new, here's a comment on the two answers below. Stephen's is the simplest and most direct answer for your case of a column vector of ALL zeros. Mohammad's, while slightly more complicated, is the most general and will work in the case where you have some elements that are not zeros. Either approach will work for 2 million rows.
